The contract solicitation numbered 140R6026Q0084, titled WY BB DAM & DIAMOND CR. DIKE FACILITY WE, is a total small business set-aside issued by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation through the Missouri Basin Regional Office in Billings, Montana. It seeks a qualified small business to perform an ongoing noxious weed control program through invasive species management at specified locations in Wyoming, primarily targeting areas associated with the Big Bend Dam and Diamond Creek Dike facilities. Offerors must be certified by the State of Wyoming for commercial application of both general-use and restricted-use herbicides and pesticides, comply with WDEQ’s General Permit for Minor Pesticide Applications, and ensure all UAS equipment used is not manufactured by a covered foreign entity. Performance is scheduled for an initial term from August 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, with four one-year option periods extendable through March 31, 2031, and a potential six-month extension through September 30, 2031. Deliverables include invasive species control, submission of GIS maps and associated shapefiles/KMLs with attribute tables at invoice time, an annual applicator report, and re-treatment of failed areas at no additional cost. All work must adhere to Reclamation Safety and Health Standards, particularly parts 2, 7, 8, and 11. The solicitation is structured as a Request for Quotation with pricing submitted for the base year and all optional periods, and award will go to the responsible offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the government, with price being the most important evaluation factor, followed equally by technical approach and past performance. All line item pricing and technical specification sheets are mandatory pass/fail gates—failure to include either will disqualify the offer. The contractor must submit an explosives security plan, a storage/security/retrieval plan for approval by the Contracting Officer's Representative, and a detailed delivery schedule in advance. Personnel must be U.S. citizens or legally admitted foreign nationals, possess Government-issued identification such as a PIV card, and comply with security briefings and reporting requirements for unauthorized contacts.
