Canine Diet for the Sevilleta NWR, NM 140F0221Q0024

Questions and Answers:

1. Could you please confirm the duration of the contract, am I correct in assuming it is a 5-year fixed price Contract? Yes

2. Central Nebraska Packing, Inc. would find it very difficult to determine a fair price for a 5-year price agreement, the meat markets are incredibly unpredictable and volatile, and would of course change drastically in a 5-year span!

The FAR reference below should address your questions on the 5-year price agreement.

Per FAR 13.303-6(b) Review procedures.

(1) Ensure that each BPA is reviewed at least annually and, if necessary, updated at that time; and

(2) Maintain awareness of changes in market conditions, sources of supply, and other pertinent factors that may warrant making new arrangements with different suppliers or modifying existing arrangements.

3. In addition, could you please explain further the requirement of “FDA Certified” and “AZA Accredited” Canine Diets?

Here is the link to the Large Canid Care Manual put out by the AZA. Attached are a few sections that apply. We follow the AZA guidelines and therefore the source of the meat, the manner in which it is acquired and processed, and ingredients must follow AZA guidance. They must also follow Federal, State and Local regulations for food production/preparation.

5.2 Diets

The formulation, preparation, and delivery of all diets must be of a quality and quantity suitable to meet the animal’s psychological and behavioral needs (AZA Accreditation Standard 2.6.3). Food should be purchased from reliable, sustainable and well-managed sources. The nutritional analysis of the food should be regularly tested and recorded.

Food preparation must be performed in accordance with all relevant federal, state, or local regulations (AZA Accreditation Standard 2.6.1). Meat processed on site must be processed following all USDA standards. The appropriate hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) food safety protocols for the diet ingredients, diet preparation, and diet administration should be established for the taxa or species specified. Diet preparation staff should remain current on food recalls, updates, and regulations per

USDA/FDA.
