Description
This Request for Information (RFI #4) seeks vendor feedback on the draft solicitation for a new statewide contract (DES #12225) covering vegetation‑management products used by Washington State highways. The agency is reviewing the requirements, product specifications, and bid‑submission formats before publishing a competitive solicitation. Vendors are asked to comment on clarity, labeling, EPA adjustment language, and any other issues in the draft documents.

• Feedback must be submitted by email no later than 6/25/2026; comments become part of the public record.
• Estimated contract value is $1,000,000, with a 36‑month performance period once awarded.
• The contract will be administered by the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services and will serve Washington DOT and other state agencies.
