About this opportunity
The Environmental Protection Agency intends to issue a sole-source change order to Kynetec USA Inc. under Purchase Order 68HERH24P0009 for continued access to the FarmTrak/I-map agricultural pesticide usage database, extending the contract seven months through May 2027 and providing pesticide usage data for calendar years 2024 and 2025.
The justification, certified April 1, 2026 and approved April 16, 2026, cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 and demonstrates that Kynetec is the sole responsible source capable of meeting EPA requirements. Kynetec is the only firm conducting annual farm-level surveys providing the detailed pesticide usage data necessary for regulatory risk assessments under FIFRA. Market research identified no competing vendors offering comparable comprehensive data collection capabilities. EPA evaluated alternatives including EPA-funded surveys, partial USDA/State survey funding, Data Call-In notices to registrants, and public sources such as USDA NASS and California Pesticide Regulation data, but determined each insufficient due to limited coverage, timeliness constraints, incomplete information, or geographic scope limitations.
Deliverables include database subscription access for 40 users covering all crops and pesticide types with historical data from 1998–2025, Percent Crop Treated files at specialty, row crop, and active ingredient levels for U.S. and state-level analysis, 225 client service hours (210 table fulfillment and 15 programming hours), six days of on-site training across 12 sessions, and quality assurance measures including data gap notifications and recommendations for statistical methodologies. Place of performance is not specified in the justification.
