About this file
This document contains the specifications for Trimedlure (TML) solid dispensers required by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), Pest Detection and Emergency Projects (PDEP) Branch for their statewide trapping programs. The dispensers must contain a minimum of 2 grams of TML, be resistant to moisture and damage, and maintain their shape and efficacy for up to 1 year of storage at 20°C. The dispensers must also meet performance specifications related to chemical assay and bioassay after 1 and 6 weeks of field aging. This is in relation to the RFQ P23-1510 for TML plugs, whereby CDFA PDEP purchases traps, trapping supplies, and shipping supplies for their statewide programs, including those conducted under contract with County Agricultural Commissioners.
The pricing terms, funding sources, and other salient details are not provided in this document. However, it is noted that if CDFA PDEP is unable to purchase these supplies, time-sensitive plant protection activities will not occur, and some counties may not take advantage of the cost savings through purchase volume.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRIMEDLURE SOLID DISPENSERS
California Department of Food and Agriculture
P23-1510
1. SCOPE AND SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 Scope:
The dispensers shall be formulated so as to constitute a controlled release delivery system utilizing pure Trimedlure (TML).
1.2 Specifications:
The solid dispensers shall meet the following specifications:
1. Contain a minimum of 2 grams of trimedlure*.
2. Be free of liquid trimedlure on the unit surface.
3. Be nonfriable and resistant to damage during normal field operations.
4. Be resistant to moisture.
5. Be easily and quickly installed, with minimum contamination of the dispenser from the trap adhesive, when used in a Jackson plastic bait basket and/or Champ trap.
Samples of the plastic bait basket and Champ trap are available upon request.
6. Under normal handling, shipping and deployment the dispenser shall maintain its shape and not crumble, break or shatter.
7. Once installed, dispenser must not be easily dislodged from the trap.
8. Be prepared from common, nontoxic commercial material.
9. Be capable of being stored at 20°c for one year with no reduction in efficacy.
*Trimedlure liquid must meet the specifications as outlined in the attached: Specifications for Liquid Trimedlure dated September 25, 2003.
2. PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 Chemical Assay:
Following field aging of production-lot dispensers, the residual lure content shall be at least 1 gram after 1 week and 0.4 gram after 6 weeks of aging; the release rates of trimedlure at 28°C in a laboratory test shall be at least 0. 7 milligrams per hour per dispenser after 1 week and 0.4 milligrams per hour per dispenser after 6 weeks aging. Reference dispensers of known quality (previously tested and approved) will be analyzed with each test as a control.
2.2 Bioassay:
Following field aging of production-lot dispensers, for 1 and 6 weeks, the number of Medflies captured shall be at least 50 percent of that caught by standard freshly baited Richmond cotton wck baited with
2.0 milliliter of the same bulk trimedlure as used for the dispensers .
