About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) facility in Edinburg, TX to Gasochem International, LLC, a Houston-based specialty chemicals and materials distribution company. The single-award, 5-year IDC, valued at $269,790, is for the delivery of food-grade methylparaben powder meeting specific appearance, identification, assay, and melting point requirements. The methylparaben powder is used as a preservative in the larval diet of the Mexican Fruit Fly to inhibit mold and microbial growth, as part of APHIS's efforts to control this agricultural pest. This procurement was set aside for total small business, and Gasochem International, a minority-owned, small disadvantaged, woman-owned, and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business, was awarded the contract. The IDC requires first article approval at no additional cost to the government, and deliveries will be made in 25 kg or 55.112 lb drums.

Gasochem International is an experienced federal contractor, holding several significant IDCs across civilian and defense agencies for a range of chemical products. This award demonstrates the company's ability to consistently supply critical materials like methylparaben powder to support USDA APHIS's Mexican Fruit Fly research and control programs. Gasochem's diverse small business certifications enable it to effectively compete for and win set-aside contracts with federal agencies requiring specialty chemical solutions.
