Statement of Work For

Building 6418 MFFRF Optical Sorter Purchase

April 2025

1.0 Location: USDA APHIS PPQ FO MFFRF

(Mexican Fruit Fly Rearing Facility) Bldg. 6418 22675 N. Moorefield Rd.

Moore Air Base (MAB) Edinburg, TX 78541

2.0 Project Background: The Mexican Fruit Fly Rearing Facility produces Anastrepha ludens, a pest of commercial citrus growing regions of the United States. The Rearing Facility uses Sterile Insect Technique to rear flies from the egg stage to the pupae stage, exposes the pupae to radiation to render the pupae sterile and unable to produce viable offspring. Sterile pupae produced at the Rearing Facility are reared to the adult stage at the Eclosion and Release Facility and released aerially in Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy counties in Texas and along the Texas-Mexican border. Sterile flies mate with wild flies thereby suppressing and eradicating the wild population.

The Rearing Facility is about to begin producing a new strain of fruit fly, the Black Pupae Strain (BPS-10). BPS-10 strain flies express sexually dimorphic color pigmentation, allowing for sorting and removing female flies prior to emergence and release. An automated sorting machine is required to separate male and female flies, and to process millions of male flies that are produced daily in the Rearing Facility.
