Five year Blanket Purchase Agreement for Multi lure Traps

Item Description: Firm Fixed Priced Blanket Purchase Agreement  for Multi lure Traps for the USDA/APHIS/PPQ Facility in Edinburg, TX.  All cost to include but not limit to: overhead, general and administrative, profit, insurance, and transportation.  Period of Performance is from Date of Award and not to exceed five years. 

The traps will be used primarily for the surveillance and monitoring program associated with several pests including fruit flies.  The USDA-APHIS-PPQ-FMS in Edinburg, TX  uses a delimitation grid that relies on these  Mutli-Lure based traps which have been proven effective at detecting male Medflies.    Without this trap it will be impossible to maintain an effective program.   PPQ’s Failure to detect additional wild flies would seriously compromise the integrity of the eradication effort and could ultimately add to the overall cost or even prevent its success.

Sole Source  Reasons for Authority Cited:  This requirement is applicable to FAR 6.301-1(2), “When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source...” Better World Manufacturing, Inc. is the only manufacturer of this trap.
