PART II - WORK STATEMENT

A. Background Veterinary Services uses back tag cement for use in adhering water resistant back tags to cattle and swine for health identification purposes in connection with the Market Cattle Identification (MCI) Program and the Market Swine Testing (MST) Program. MCI and MST are conducted in cooperation with various State agricultural agencies. In order for the program to be successful and be conducted with minimum expense and labor, it is necessary that the adhesiveness of the cement furnished be capable of retaining the tags applied during the MCI and MST procedures; when a tag is lost, the animal must be re-identified which is a time consuming effort and can create irreparable damage to the program operations, as well as cause additional stress on the animals. Because VS conducts these programs year around in varying climates, it is critical that the cement be of a formula and consistency that will guarantee proper adhesion in varying degrees of temperature, humidity and precipitation.

B. Scope of Work The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS), intends to establish a firm-fixed price indefinite delivery indefinite quantity commercial supply contract for cattle and swine backtag cement packaged in tubes, screw top pint sized cans and standard quart size cans. The Government shall test product samples and award a contract to the vendor whose product offers the best value to the government.

C. Period of Performance The effective period of performance for the contract shall be from date of award through sixty (60) months, with five ordering periods consisting of twelve (12) months each.

D. Backtag Cement Specifications and Requirements

Technical Specifications for all Line Items The cement furnished shall be of fresh manufacture and shall be capable of producing sufficient adhesion for attachment of polyethylene-coated paper stock or rubber-impregnated paper stock back tags to cattle and swine.

It shall have sufficient tack and adhering ability to prevent the loss of tags from animals for a minimum of seven

(7) days while adhering to the animals for ten (10) or more days a high majority of the time in typical conditions where backtags are utilized. The cement shall not glaze over before the tag can be applied. The application of tags typically takes an estimated 10 to 15 seconds from the time the glue is applied to the paper stock to the time taken to paste said paper stock to the respective animal. Cement shall adhere readily on wet animals and shall hold to all animals immediately upon application. Further, it is imperative that the glue be of a consistency that will insure that the paper stock, when adhered to the animal, shall remain in the same location on the animal.

It is imperative that all cement be water resistant and shall function under adverse conditions of use such as extremely hot or extremely cold weather conditions.

The cement shall be of a paste consistency which will resist run-off in all temperatures occurring in the United States, including temperatures greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 0 degrees Fahrenheit, and yet remain sufficiently fluid for ready application.

The contractor may not substitute a different type or form of back tag cement other than what was tested and approved during the solicitation process, unless this is approved prior by the government.

Tube Specifications

TUBES SHALL NOT LEAK DURING SHIPMENT, STORAGE OR RESHIPMENT.

TUBES SHALL BE MARKED BY DATE AND BATCH/LOT NUMBER

TUBES SHALL STATE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM STORAGE TEMPERATURE

Can Specifications The screw top cans shall accommodate the Plews 30962 dispenser gun, which is sold by the Plews & Edelmann. In past contracts, the government has accepted one pint cans with cone or flat tops where the height of the can was roughly 5 ¼ inch.

The standard cans shall be equipped with a mechanism to prevent leakage and spilling when not in use. In the past, the government has accepted quart size cans which were round metal cans with a friction press-on cover.

Cans procured in the past were secured with clips to prevent leakage and spilling.

CANS SHALL NOT LEAK DURING SHIPMENT, STORAGE OR RESHIPMENT.

CANS SHALL BE MARKED BY DATE AND BATCH/LOT NUMBER

CANS SHALL STATE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM STORAGE TEMPERATURE

Safety The cement furnished will be of such composition that 1) there is no resultant damage to the animal hide when the cement is applied and 2) there is no mercaptan contained within the product. The offeror shall submit the Material Safety and Data Sheet for each case of glue to be provided under this contract.

Packaging and Markings The method of packing the cement in to the containers shall insure a maximum retention of the adhesive qualities.

During the shelf life of the cement, the pigment shall not separate or harden. The minimum shelf life of the cement shall be twenty-four months, beginning from the date of shipment. In addition, a “use by” date must be included on each individual container of cement. Each individual container of cement must be accompanied by accurate manufacturer instructions explaining the proper storage, and application of the cement. The instructions must be clear, accurate and an easy-to-follow explanation of the proper application of the cement to the paper stock to achieve optimal results when applied to the animal in the proper location. The Manufacturer will also provide a simple 60 second “YouTube” style video demonstrating the correct application of the cement on the tag and the animal.

Cement offered under all CLINS shall be packaged in a manner that allows quick and efficient handling for end users. In past procurements, the Government has accepted 5 ounce aluminum tubes packaged as follows; 24 tubes per box where 4 boxes fit in one case. The intermediate boxes, which stored 24 tubes, had, and if proposed under this current solicitation, shall have burst strength of a minimum of 200 pounds. The master case, which store 4 boxes x 24 tubes, had, and, if proposed under this current solicitation, shall have minimum burst strength of 350 pounds.
