2.0 Statement of Work – General Forestry Lures

2.1 SCOPE: Definite delivery of one or more of the following semiochemical lures:

• 1.6-diol lure

• 2.6-ketone lure

• 3.Alpha pinene lure, ultra-high release (UHR)

• 4.Diprion pini lure

• 5.Ethanol lure, UHR

• 6.Fuscumol acetate lure

• 7.Monochamol lure

• 8.Spruce blend lure, UHR

2.2 BACKGROUND:

Semiochemical lures when combined with a variety of traps have been shown to be an effective monitoring tool for non-indigenous forest insect pests and wood-boring beetles. The various trap and lure combinations have enabled the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to better contain and monitor potential infestations of these insects. Forest insect pests are some of the most serious exotic plant pests threatening forest and environmental resources. The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine has been tasked by Congress with detecting, monitoring and managing these insects. The impact of these insects, should they become established, would have irreversible impacts on natural resources, hinder trade, and increase costs of production.

Ultimately, an eradication and/or control program would likely be in the millions of dollars if these insects were to go undetected in our environment.

2.3 OBJECTIVE:

The requested semiochemical lures are needed to equip program personnel to detect and monitor many existing and potential exotic pest infestations. Without these semiochemicals, defining infestations might not be possible and the ultimate cost to the USDA and cooperators of an eradication program could exceed millions of dollars should these lures not be available.

2.4 PACKAGE MARKING/LABELING

The following conditions must be met for the requested products:

1. Each product must be identified, both on the lure packet and the shipping containers with:

• Manufacturer’s name

• Lure name, as listed in section H. Specifications

• Batch or lot number

• Expiration date, if applicable

• Optimal storage conditions (Manufacturer’s recommended optimal storage temperature, and recommended minimum and maximum storage temperature range)

• Expected duration of effectiveness when being utilized

• Contract number

• Manufacturing date

• Semiochemical component(s) or chemical name(s), as listed in section H. Specifications

2. Products must be identifiable and distinguishable from each other by either marking each package or by color coding so that even a colorblind person can identify the difference.

4 12639523Q0172 Forestry Lures

2.5 PACKAGING:

Packaging is an important part of the delivery of these fragile and products the following must be followed:

(a) The product must be evenly packaged.

(b) The product must be packed in an impermeable over pack to prevent leakage and be sturdy enough to ensure safe delivery.

(d) Each shipment will include a packing slip identifying the following:

(i) Manufacturer

(ii) Batch/Lot number

(iii) Date of manufacture

(iv) Purchase order number

(v) Quantity shipped

2.6 SHIPPING:

• Material shall be packed for shipment in such a manner that shall ensure acceptance by common carriers and safe delivery at destination. Containers and closures shall comply with the Interstate Commerce Commission regulations, Uniform Freight Classification rules, or regulations of other carriers as applicable to the mode of transportation.

• Shipping time and conditions must be accounted for when the manufacturer supplies USDA with information on the lures’ shelf life. The USDA will be shipping from Edinburg, TX to various locations throughout the US, with a maximum shipping time of 6 days with various temperature exposures during this transit time. It shall be understood that storage condition requirements (i.e., refrigeration) will not be met during this time and the shelf life of the lures must not be adversely impacted because of this shipping time.

2.7 DELIVERY OF PRODUCT(S) FOB DESTINATION TO:
