- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemental with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This solicitation number is RFQ-R8-03-16. This solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 01-13. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 325320; size standard is 500 employees. The USDA-Forest Service is soliciting for the acquisition of the following herbicides/pesticides: Item no. (1a) Glyphosate 4#/gal (no surfactant) 2.5 gallon containers (2 per box) 600 gallons OR Item no. (1b) Glyphosate 5.4#/gal (no surfactant) 2.5 gallon containers (2 per box) 450 gallons OR Item no. (1c) a mix of the 2 formulations (1a + 1b) yielding 2400 lbs # ai Item no. (2) Velpar L (product specific; no substitutions) 2.5 gallon container (2 per box) 1500 gallons Item no. (3) Arsenal Applicators Concentrate (Forestry 4 lb ai, (product specific; no substitutions)) 1 quart container (4 per box) 100 gallons. Item no. (4) Arsenal (product specific; no substitutions) (2 lb ai) 1 quart container (4 per box) 100 gallons Item no. (5) Garlon 3A (product specific; no substitutions) 2.5 gallon containers (2 per box) 1000 gallons. Item no. (6) Garlon 4 (product specific; no substitutions) (for forestry+) 2.5 gallon containers (2 per box) 800 gallons Products 2-6 are product and packaging size specific; products are specific to meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) labeling requirements, and package sizes are specific to meet desired storage and use safety standards. While other products or packaging is available they are unacceptable due to either regulatory or safety constraints. Products 1a and 1b are equivalent products, calculations reflecting the fact that different formulators package at different rates of active ingredient per gallon. Either rate per gallon is acceptable if tendered product is labeled for forestry and for right-of-way use and the formulation contains no surfactant. A mix of 1a & 1b (= 1c) totaling the projected 2,400 lbs a.i. is acceptable. In all cases (1a, 1b & 1c) per pound a.i. price will be compared to determine average price of product. Packaging other than 2 per box is acceptable but 2.5 gallon/container is the maximum volume container acceptable. Quoters may submit a bid on item 1a, lb or lc. Two listings are given to allow purchase of existing 4# ai/gal stock but then move to the newer 5.4# ai/gal products. Product specific EPA requires that products be labeled for “site” of application. Any product purchased from this contract must have appropriate labeling to permit forest, right-of-way, or wildlife site use. Offerors must provide products meeting this label constraints or product will be returned at quoters expense. All quantities are estimated. No obligation will exist until the Government places an order. Orders will be made by credit card or purchase order. Quoters must be set up to receive payments by credit card.
