P25-0024_Wheat_Millfeed_specifications.pdf

This document is a Bid Specification for a Wheat Millfeed contract issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), specifically for the CDFA Hawaii Fruit Fly Rearing Facility located in Waimanalo, Hawaii. The contract seeks 2,100 bags of pesticide-free wheat millfeed, totaling 105,000 pounds, to be packaged in 50-pound bags and shipped in a 40' container. The Blanket Purchase Order will be effective for approximately four months or until funds are expended, with a contract term from the execution date through December 31, 2025, and product to be ordered on an "as needed basis".

The bid requires wheat millfeed with strict pesticide residue limitations, specifically maximum allowable pesticide residue (MAPR) levels for methyl chlorpyriphos, chlorpyriphos, and malathion. Payment will be made upon delivery and acceptance of the product, with invoices subject to approval by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). A one-pound sample from each lot must be sent to CDFA's Center for Analytical Chemistry in Sacramento for testing, with any product exceeding pesticide residue limits resulting in lot rejection. The contractor is responsible for ensuring timely delivery within 30 days of CDFA's notice and providing all necessary equipment, staff, services, and storage facilities to meet the contract requirements.
