The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) is soliciting proposals for a firm-fixed-price purchase order for restricted use herbicides to support agricultural research and production operations at the Beltsville Agriculture Research Center (BARC) in Maryland. The procurement requires the contractor to provide specific herbicides in designated quantities and packaging, with delivery to be completed by April 1, 2025, and the contractor must be located within 65 miles of the research center for government pickup. This initiative underscores the importance of effective agricultural research while promoting compliance with federal regulations and supporting small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small businesses. Interested parties should submit their quotations electronically to Contract Specialist Scott Ballweg at scott.ballweg@usda.gov by 1:00 PM Eastern Time on March 19, 2025.
