About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has awarded contract 12639526C0033 to Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc. on a sole-source basis for aircraft and crew services to conduct aerial release of sterilized New World Screwworm flies, with an award date of June 12, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-3, Unusual and Compelling Urgency. The rapid northward spread of New World Screwworm through Mexico into Texas necessitates immediate response to contain the pest and protect the U.S. cattle industry, which contributes approximately $10 billion annually in Texas alone. Dynamic Aviation was selected based on its current contract experience with aerial dispersal of sterilized New World Screwworm in Panama and Mexico, plus additional active contracts for aerial release of sterilized fruit flies in Florida and California. No market research notice or sources sought notice was published due to the urgent nature of the requirement.
The contract structure consists of one base period of six months (June 13, 2026 to December 12, 2026) and three six-month option periods. Place of performance includes Panama, Mexico, and the United States. The Contracting Officer determined pricing as fair and reasonable based on historical aerial dispersal contract data and an Independent Government Cost Estimate using current market rates. USDA intends to compete future similar aerial dispersal contracts for New World Screwworm response services within the initial 6–12 month period.
