STATEMENT OF WORK

Clear Polyethylene Plastic Bags

1. TITLE OF CONTRACT

Clear Polyethylene Plastic Bags, Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS) National Veterinary Stockpile (NVS).

2. BACKGROUND

The U.S. National Veterinary Stockpile (NVS) is the nation's repository of critical veterinary supplies, equipment, and service resources. It exists because of the nation’s concern after 9/11 that terrorists could release animal diseases of catastrophic proportions that would

• deplete State and local response inventories,

• generate surge requirements that would overwhelm commercial sources, and

• prevent unaffected States from providing significant help for fear of the threat crossing their borders

The NVS’ ability to deploy within 24 hours large amounts of critical veterinary resources ensures States have what they need to respond to catastrophes and other outbreaks.

The NVS deploys products like animal vaccine, antiviral, or therapeutic products to appropriately respond to damaging animal diseases affecting human health and the economy that are likely to be unavailable in sufficient quantities for large outbreaks. States, industry (as part of the incident command system), and NVS commercial partners will use the products, and related equipment, to respond to large-scale outbreaks.

The NVS utilizes its commercial partners to store its inventory in multiple locations and in sufficient volume to ensure its ability to respond to multiple, large-scale, simultaneous animal disease outbreaks.

3. PERFORMANCE PERIOD:

This is a multiple year contract.
