About this IDV
The United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $2.88 million to Aerodescargas Fronterizas, S.C., a Tijuana, Mexico-based aviation services provider, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2030. The contract supports APHIS's Mexican fruit fly aerial release program through the provision of fixed-wing aircraft and crew services for sterile insect release operations in Tijuana and Reynosa, Mexico. The contractor is responsible for providing commercially-licensed pilots with a minimum of 800 total flight hours and 200 pilot-in-command hours, modifying government-supplied aircraft with specialized insect release equipment, maintaining compliance with Mexican aviation regulations, and operating sophisticated GPS and flight logging systems including an AG-NAV Guia Gold system for detailed flight tracking and data recording. The contract was awarded through full and open competition with no small business set-aside designation and is funded by APHIS's Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services division.
Two delivery orders have been issued under the contract to date: a $179,961.60 firm fixed-price order for sterile fruit fly release operations in Tijuana, Mexico, and a $351,771.20 firm fixed-price order for similar operations in Reynosa, Mexico, both awarded August 1, 2025 with completion dates of July 31, 2026. These delivery orders represent initial task assignments under the broader Indefinite Delivery Contract structure, which allows APHIS to issue additional orders for aerial services throughout the five-year contract performance period. The contracted services directly support APHIS's transboundary pest management mission, which aims to prevent agricultural damage and mitigate trade disruptions caused by invasive Mexican fruit fly populations that pose economic risks to U.S. agricultural resources and commodities.
