Aflatoxin Test Kits

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, (GIPSA), has a requirement for two types of Aflatoxin Test Kits. CLIN 001 - solvent-based extraction quantitative kit and CLIN 002 - water-based (non- hazardous) quantitative test kit. These test kits will be delivered to a variety of GIPSA locations in different states. The estimated annual cumulative requirement for both CLINs is an estimated 10,000 quantitative aflatoxin test kits. ONLY OFFERS FROM FIRMS WHOSE TEST KITS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED BY FGIS FOR THE SOLVENT-BASED EXTRACTION AND WATER BASED QUANTITATIVE TEST METHODS WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD. This award will result in multiple awards of a firm-fixed price line items for a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), unless extended or terminated. This requirement is a small business set aside. The associated NAICS code for this effort is 32599.
