This is an Exemption Revision Form and Sole Source Form from Sarasota County's Health & Human Services Department, specifically the Mosquito Management Division, seeking to renew a sole source procurement with Clarke Mosquito Control Products, Inc. The document authorizes the continued purchase of Anvil, Natular G30 granulars, and Natular G for mosquito control purposes, with an estimated expenditure of $550,000.00 per fiscal year. The contract is set to run from 10/08/2020 to 10/07/2024, a three-year period, with no changes to the estimated expenditure amount.

The sole source justification is based on Dow AgroSciences being the only manufacturer that allows Clarke Mosquito Control Products to use its active ingredient Spinosad for mosquito larval control products. Clarke is also the exclusive distributor for MGK's Anvil with a proprietary active ingredient for adult mosquito control. The products will be used to continue the county's Integrated Pest Management Plan, with an emphasis on more environmentally friendly mosquito control methods. The procurement is authorized for a cumulative amount not to exceed $350,000.00 per fiscal year, and the documents include supporting correspondence from Corteva Agrisciences and MGK confirming Clarke's exclusive distribution rights for 2024.
