A. DESCRIPTION OF AGREEMENT

Establish a Firm Fixed Priced Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA-APHIS-PPQ in Edinburg, TX to supply - Food Grade Methylparaben powder (in accordance with specifications), to be purchased on an as needed basis for a period not to exceed Five years. All cost to include but not limit to:

overhead, general and administrative, profit, insurance, and transportation.

Item Description Food Grade Methyl Paraben is used primarily in our artificial diet formula for its anti-fungal properties. The artificial diet is prepared and inoculated with Anastepha ludens eggs, held for eight (8) days in environmental controlled rooms conducive for larval development. Methyl paraben is necessary to control the fungal load in the diet of the developing larvae over the course of eight (8) days. There are two additional minor applications for this product for the production of adult diet formula and the fertile colony support. The food Grade Methylparaben powder is used in Mexican Fruit Fly Larval Diets as a preservative. The Mexican Fruit Fly (Anastrepha ludens) is a serious pest to various fruits, particularly citrus and mango. Mexican fruit fly was first found in Central Mexico in 1863, and by the early 1950s flies were found along the California-Mexico border. The pest has since been detected in Arizona, California and Texas.

A large number of commercially grown crops, including avocado, grapefruit, orange, peach and pear, would be threatened if the Mexican fruit fly becomes more established.
