Amendment 0002.pdf

This document is an Amendment (0002) to a federal solicitation for USDA RFID Livestock Identification Ear Tags for Swine. The solicitation seeks suppliers of tamper-evident, low-frequency RFID 840 official ear tags for animal identification, with specific requirements for tag design, distribution, and tracking. Key submission requirements include providing a cover letter, signed SF1449, pricing schedule with monthly production capacity, proof of an approved USDA AIN device tag, and a shipping and tracking management plan.

The amendment modifies several sections of the original solicitation, including proposal submission requirements and contractor responsibilities. Contractors must distribute tags only to specific stakeholders like commercial sow farm producers, exhibition swine producers, and state animal health officials. They are required to provide a system/database to track orders, including detailed information about tag delivery, and submit corresponding reports to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The solicitation limits the number of tags based on the number of sows on premises, ranging from 500 tags for premises with fewer than 500 sows to 6,000 tags for premises with 10,000 or more sows.
