2. STATEMENT OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS/DELIVERY SCHEDULE:

BACKGROUND:

The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of the most serious agricultural pests in the world. One of the principal techniques for controlling is the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) which has been the most efficient and environmental friendly technique used to control populations of C. capitata around the world. A key goal in achieving a successful SIT program is a mass rearing system producing high quality insects at low cost.

Providing adults with the traditional food for tephritids is sugar, enzymatically hydrolyzed protein and water, which delivers the necessary amount of protein for egg development and maturation.

Therefore the Moscamed Program in Guatemala needs to acquire Sugar as an ingredient for C.

capitata larvae and adult diet as carbohydrate source for the mass-rearing facility located in Guatemala.

SCOPE of WORK:

In order to produce the C. capitata larvae and adult diet, the Moscamed Program needs to acquire approximately 20,000 bags of Sugar (50 kg each) per year that complies with the following requirements:

• Standard white sugar

• Loose crystals aspect

• Less than 0.10% of humidity

• 50 Kg bag (desirable)

Additional Requirements:

• Production and expiration Date is required. Product has to be a maximum of one month date old from production. This has to be verifiable with demonstrating evidence.

• Brix grade analysis and Sucrose level is required

• 80% of storage life

SCHEDULE NOTES

1) The vendor’s price includes Guatemalan National Value Added Tax (12% Impuesto Valor Agregado IVA) as required by local statutes. The USDA Moscamed Program is tax exempt. The vendor will include “IVA” in their line item price and on their invoices; however, the USDA Moscamed Program will provide a Constancia de Exencíon (Tax Exemption Certificate) and pay the net price versus the price including IVA as allowed by local statutes and international treaties.

The contractor will be given the certificate after we are provided with an invoice showing the price of the IVA. Then the USDA will pay the amount, less the amount of the IVA.
