The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS), Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) division awarded a $43.5M purchase order to Scentry Biologicals, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Billings, Montana, on April 17, 2026. The contract calls for the delivery of 75,000 orange paper delta traps with three sticky sides for use in surveillance and monitoring of the European grapevine moth and early detection of other exotic insect pests. This is a firm fixed-price procurement conducted as a simplified commercial acquisition under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 procedures, with the contract designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, limiting competition to small business concerns within the Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing industry.

Scentry Biologicals has an established track record as a key supplier to USDA APHIS, with multiple indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts totaling over $16M for specialized pest monitoring equipment, including delta traps, Jackson trap components, fruit fly lures, and methyl eugenol dispensers. The company, registered in the System for Award Management since 2003, specializes in manufacturing insect monitoring and control products that support the agency's critical agricultural pest management programs and early detection efforts at borders and ports of entry. The purchase order is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026, with performance to be executed at the contractor's facility in Billings, Montana.
