The United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services is seeking to procure 1,800 bottles of Dectomax (Doramectin) 500ml injectable solution for its Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program. The solicitation (RFQ 12639525Q0032) is specifically for a brand name product manufactured by Zoetis, which is the only authorized treatment for cattle fever tick operations in Texas per state administrative code. The RFQ was issued on December 3, 2024, with quote responses due by December 10, 2024, at 4:00 PM ET. While the solicitation focuses on a specific brand name product, the agency will conduct a competitive solicitation among authorized Dectomax distributors to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. Evaluation will likely focus on vendor capability to provide the specified product, compliance with delivery requirements, and competitive pricing.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 325414 for Biological Product Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The estimated procurement value is approximately $270,000, with an anticipated purchase order date of December 30, 2024. Delivery will be coordinated directly with the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program point of contact, with specific attention to product freshness due to limited shelf life. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price commercial supply purchase order, with performance located at the USDA APHIS VS Tick Office in Laredo, Texas (78041). Vendors must be prepared to manage precise delivery logistics and meet the specific requirements of treating cattle fever ticks in the region, including minimizing toxic chemical exposure for USDA staff.
