Fertilizers and Turf Chemicals

The City of Spokane issued RFQ 5376‑21 to obtain quotes for a wide range of fertilizers, turf chemicals, grass seed, fungicides, herbicides, wetting agents, and ancillary turf‑management products on an “as‑needed” basis. The solicitation is structured as a one‑year Value Blanket Order (VBO) with the option to extend up to four additional one‑year periods, allowing the city to maintain a flexible supply pipeline for its municipal golf courses and other turf facilities. Seven prospective vendors were provided with pricing matrices, each offering unit prices for specific product SKUs (e.g., 0‑0‑50 fertilizer 50‑lb bag, 16‑16‑16 50‑lb bag, various seed blends, and specific fungicide/ herbicide formulations). No total contract value or award decision is disclosed, but the tabulated totals suggest a maximum spend of roughly $23 k for a single‑vendor award. The RFQ includes standard procurement dates: availability (Dec 28 2020), clarification deadline (Jan 21 2021), bid due (Jan 28 2021), and award (June 29 2021). Key points: • Scope covers fertilizers, seeds, fungicides, herbicides, wetting agents, and related turf‑management items. • Structured as a one‑year Value Blanket Order with up to four optional one‑year renewals. • Seven vendors submitted price‑per‑unit proposals; the highest‑value total per vendor is about $23 k. • Issued by the City of Spokane, Washington, targeting municipal golf courses and related turf facilities.
