The indefinite delivery contract was awarded on March 13, 2024 by the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services to Alpha Scents, Inc., a small business manufacturer of insect monitoring and control products. The potential value of the contract is $49,000 with a period of performance through February 28, 2028.
Under the contract, Alpha Scents will provide specialized lures and traps to support the agency's agricultural pest detection and monitoring programs. A delivery order valued at $12,250 was issued on the same date as the contract award for the purchase of CYDALIMA PERSPECTALIS lures. As the sole awardee, Alpha Scents will supply USDA APHIS PPQ with various forestry lures and aggregation lures to be used in detection and monitoring efforts for invasive insect pests threatening United States plant resources and forests. The place of performance for products under this order is Alpha Scents' facility in Canby, Oregon.
By setting aside this indefinite delivery contract for small businesses, the agency aims to procure specialized detection and monitoring tools from a manufacturer with expertise in developing innovative insect monitoring products. The contracted lures and traps will support USDA APHIS PPQ's mission to safeguard agricultural and forestry industries from foreign pest threats through early detection and surveillance programs.
