The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) has awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to FAST AG Air LLC, a veteran-owned small business, for aerial insecticide treatments targeting Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket (GHMC) populations in six western states: Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and Utah. The $415,800 contract, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2027, requires the prime contractor to provide comprehensive aerial spraying services including labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and application of approved pesticides like Diflubenzuron. The contract was set aside for small businesses and will utilize fair opportunity ordering procedures for individual task orders, with a $500 minimum order requirement and $1,000,000 maximum order limit. The goal is to reduce grasshopper and Mormon cricket populations through targeted aerial spraying when populations reach treatment levels, with services anticipated between May and August annually. Not all states will require treatment each year, and the contract structure allows for flexible, as-needed services without any guaranteed order quantities beyond the $500 minimum.
