About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification for a proposed noncompetitive contract under FAR Part 13.5 for Ivermectin-treated molasses tubs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) intends to negotiate a fixed-price contract with the sole source provider, Positive Feed Ltd., a small business. The justification cites that Positive Feed is the only manufacturer with the FDA license to produce the Ivermectin-medicated molasses tubs, which contain 200mg of Ivermectin per pound. The anticipated cost to the government is deemed fair and reasonable compared to the base molasses tubs product. The USDA is issuing a Special Notice to provide the opportunity for any other responsible sources to submit capability statements by March 27, 2024, but a competitive procurement is solely at the discretion of the government. The contract will be reviewed and approved through the required thresholds up to the Senior Procurement Executive if the value exceeds $75 million.
