1.0 PURPOSE

The Mexican Fruit Fly (MexFly) Rearing Facility for the last 28 years has been rearing fruit flies in the Rio Grande Valley. The current production of Mexican Fruit Fly pupae is currently set at 150 million pupae per week. Toasted Soy Flour is used as a vital source of nutrients in the diet for the larval development of the Mexican Fruit Fly. Currently there is no other product evaluated as effective as the Toasted Soy Flour described below. Several years ago, a study was conducted by the Center for Plant Health Science and Technology (CPHST) scientists to produce a diet formula that improved the quality of the Mexican Fruit Flies reared at Moore Air Base for Sterile Insect Release. The purpose of this acquisition is to acquire such food source.

The first shipment shall be delivered on or before March 14, 2023. The following two deliveries shall be scheduled every 110 after the first delivery.
