About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) awarded a $12,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Watts Leafcutter Bees Corporation on February 5, 2020, for the supply of Osmia lignaria (blue orchard mason) bees. The contract, which was not set aside for small businesses, called for delivery of 18,000 female bees accompanied by 12,000 male bees to support agricultural research and crop pollination initiatives. The award was issued with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2020, and performance was to take place in Mill Creek, Washington.
Watts Leafcutter Bees Corporation, a for-profit subchapter S corporation specializing in the supply of live bees for agricultural purposes, has established itself as a reliable vendor for the ARS's pollination research needs. This contract represents one of four prime federal awards the company received from ARS over a four-year period, with purchase orders ranging from $12,000 to $14,400 for similar supplies of female and male mason bees. These contracts support the ARS's ongoing research efforts in orchard pollination and demonstrate the agency's reliance on commercial bee suppliers to meet its agricultural research objectives.
