)STATEMENT OF WORK: ZIKA Mosquito Collection Kits BACKGROUND: US Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) has directed that Zika virus surveillance be conducted on all Army installations in the known range of the two mosquito species that transmit this virus to humans. The only mosquito trap on the market capable of trapping these two mosquito species is the BG Sentinel trap. If these traps are not purchased, personnel at the installation level will be unable to comply with MEDCOM's guidance, and will be unable to detect or monitor populations of these mosquitoes.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT: The US Army Public Health Center (Provisional) (APHC (Prov)), Entomological Sciences Program (ESP) requests a sole-source emergency purchase for the following items:

a. 205 BG Sentinel 2 traps

b. 205 battery packs (battery plus charger)

c. 187 spare batteries

d. 164 human skin chemical lures

e. 350 trap catch bags Currently, a National Stock Number (NSN) exists for all the above-listed items. However, the DLA is not a viable source of the BG Sentinel 2 traps for the following reasons:

a. The DLA does not have a sufficient supply of these items, and is unable to order them from the vendor in time to address impending Zika virus outbreaks. APHC (Prov) tried to order through the DLA, and found that these items would not ship before September 2016, which is after the mosquito season. These traps must be procured directly through the vendor to meet mission requirements.

b. In addition to being unable to supply the required demand for the BG Sentinel traps, the DLA prices for traps and components are significantly higher than the vendor's prices. Purchasing 205 traps from the vendor will save over $54,000.00 and ensure that traps ship directly to the Public Health Commands, not through the intermediate DLA.

)ORDER SHIPMENT DETAILS: The BG Sentinel traps and associated components will be shipped to the four Public Health Commands, and distributed to installations in the Zika virus mosquito range. Preventive medicine personnel will then use the traps to monitor and control Zika vectors. This requirement must be split as defined below and shipped to the four individual locations as follows:
