1. NOTE TO OFFEROR:

In order for an offeror to have a complete quotation package, the following must be submitted to the Contracting Officer to be considered responsive:

□ A copy this document with fixed-price line item prices and quote validity period completed. Offerors shall provide a quotation for goose processing by filling in the Price Schedule listed below and signing a copy of the SF-1449. Our preference is to accept only offers with pricing at $5.00 or less per bird based on historical costs. Offers above $5.00 will be considered, but they may not be acceptable considering the cooperative agreement pricing with local entities that is already in place. The Service Contract Act and U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage rates apply to this contract for any employees hired by the offeror to do the work. The prevailing wage rates for Virginia counties can be found at www.wdol.gov. An example wage rate per hour for a meat cutter (07210) in Chesterfield County is $15.54+$3.50 equivalent benefits (reference

WD 05-2546, rev.-14, first posted on www.wdol.gov on 08/31/2010). The prevailing wage rate in the offeror’s county may be different.

Certifications—Commercial Items. An offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision (in Attachment 1) if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically at http://orca.bpn.gov. If an offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically at the ORCA website, the offeror shall check the appropriate boxes in only paragraphs (c)(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(11) and (d) of this provision for this solicitation; please note that paragraphs (m) and (n) also apply.

□ Past Performance References with previous contracts/POs with this agency or similar scope of work with federal/state/local entities. An offeror shall submit up to three customer references from the last 12 months including contact information and/or previous contract numbers with the USDA .

□ A technical statement explaining the proposed goose processing services offered. The statement should explain the firm’s capabilities and how the offeror intends to meet the requirements discussed in the statement of work attached below. The offers will be evaluated for

“best value”, based on price, location, previous work for APHIS or other state and local entities, and the technical statement of the vendor. At a minimum, the technical statement should explain:

Which days of the week will be available for live goose processing? How will the meat be processed and packaged? What is the capacity of the processor to freeze and hold meat for up to one month until it can be picked up by the USDA or its designee? The processor may need to hold frozen meat from up to 2000 geese for a period up to one month. The location of the processor with regards to the project is an important factor for awarding a contract.

LIVE GOOSE PROCESSING

USDA APHIS Wildlife Services, Virginia

Work Requirements:

The U. S. Department of Agricultural (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)

Wildlife Services (WS) program is looking to create a contract or contracts with one or more meat processing facilities to euthanize and process live Canada geese in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The USDA-WS staff shall deliver Canada geese to the processing facility up to five days per week during June and July. The processor shall allow the USDA–WS to deliver the geese between 6:00

AM and 9:00 PM. The processor must have suitable enclosures to hold the live geese until they are euthanized and processed and must provide food and water for the geese while in the enclosure.

Geese will not be held longer than 24 hours prior to processing. The processor must be able to euthanize and process large numbers of geese in a short period of time. The estimated quantity of goose processing is 2,000 - 4,500 geese per year, to be split as needed among 3 or more processing facilities based on location.

Canada geese delivered by USDA-WS must be euthanized. Canada geese and/or their parts will not be released, transported, or transferred to any other individual or entity. Carcasses and/or parts remaining after processing must be disposed of properly and will not be retained or utilized for any purpose.

Goose meat shall be processed and packaged. The processor is only required to process goose breast meat, not the entire bird. Meat shall be placed in packages weighing up to five pounds. The packaged meat shall be frozen for a period up to one month until collected by USDA-WS or a recipient designated by USDA-WS.
