This is a Questions and Answers document addressing delivery specifications for RFQ 12639526Q0024, issued by the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program. A vendor inquired about acceptable delivery methods for bulk Ivermectin-treated corn, specifically asking whether delivery could be in 1-ton pallets of 50-pound bags, 1-ton super bags, bulk feed trailers with augers, or hopper-bottom trailers. The government clarified that this contract requires delivery via bulk feed trailer with an auger capable of carrying 22 tons per load, with the auger reaching the top of overhead drive-through bins for offloading purposes. This specification establishes a mandatory delivery method that respondents must meet to be considered for the small business set-aside solicitation for treated corn intended for wild deer feeding in south Texas during the non-deer season (March 1 through July 15) to control cattle fever ticks.
