Asian Citrus Psyllid Treatments Service

The California Department of Food and Agriculture, located in West Sacramento, requires statewide Asian citrus psyllid treatment services to prevent the establishment and spread of serious plant pests. The agency is attempting to solve the threat of incipient pest infestations through a statewide detection trapping program, special detection surveys, and prompt emergency eradication responses. The selected contractor must provide all agency-designated pesticides for foliar and soil applications, manage the mixing and loading of these pesticides, and supply all necessary application equipment. Daily operations require the contractor to properly decontaminate equipment, dispose of excess materials, and clean all tools. The contractor must also maintain standby or locally sourced spray equipment parts and tools to ensure immediate repairs and prevent delays during the workday. The agency is limiting eligibility to onshore, United States-based organizations to perform this offsite work. The contract term spans a one-year period. The agency is seeking budget proposals from interested bidders rather than providing a pre-determined funding limit. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this procurement no later than June 15, 2026.
