Delivery is due by January 4, 2024, with up to one day of flexibility.

Questions from Industry
12505B24Q0011
80 Weaned Piglets
Q1. Does it have to be any specific sex? Male or Female?
Response: Either sex will fulfill the requirement however if providing a mixed sex lot, the sex of the piglets need to be close to equal proportion. If mixed sex the contractor shall specify the number of each sex they are quoting
Q2. Suppliers go off of weight not age when ordering such large quantities. When you were creating this Gov't SOLICITATION did they ever mention any weight causes a 21-day-old (weaned piglet) weigh between 13-15lbs we did not know if there was any weight preference - this greatly affects pricing.
Response: Piglets can be 18-21 days of age and weigh no less than 12 lb at weaning.
They must be moved directly from sow to transportation to facility.
Q3. Solicitation states by Jan 4th or near, 2024 what's the latest date to receive if any hiccups occur?
Response: Jan 4 is delivery date, +/- 1 day
