About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has issued a solicitation for the installation of approximately 14 miles of high-game fencing in Cameron County, Texas, as part of the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program (CFTEP). The project aims to prevent the spread of cattle fever ticks by restricting wildlife movement, specifically targeting white-tailed deer and nilgai antelope. The government will use a best-value trade-off process for award, evaluating price, technical capability, and past performance, with technical factors being more important than price. Potential offerors must submit detailed price breakdowns and attend a mandatory pre-proposal site visit. The solicitation requires contractors to provide performance and payment bonds, develop a Safety Plan and Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan, and adhere to specific fencing specifications including 8-foot high, galvanized 12.5-gauge wire fencing with treated wood posts.
The contract is exclusively set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and has an estimated project value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The fencing will be installed on private and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuge property in Los Fresnos, Texas, with a performance period of 365 days after the notice to proceed. The project utilizes NAICS code 238990 with a small business size standard of $19 million. Contractors must install 8-foot high fencing with specific requirements such as posts placed 4 feet deep, T-posts at 20-foot intervals, and 16-foot wide gates at designated locations. The fencing will create contiguous wildlife corridors and help contain cattle within systematic treatment zones outside the Permanent Quarantine Zone, ultimately supporting the CFTEP's mission to control cattle fever tick transmission.

Update #6 · Latest ·
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), has issued a request for proposals to provide and install high game fencing in Cameron County in Texas.
Background:
APHIS’s Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program (CFTEP) is charged with controlling the spread of Cattle Fever Ticks (CFT) that can infect cattle with bovine babesiosis. This infection can lead to a negative impact on the cattle business and result in an infestation of local ranches. CFT are not exclusive to cattle. These ticks have also found suitable hosts on white-tailed deer and several exotic ungulates, including nilgai antelope.
CFTEP seeks construction of approximately 20 miles of 8-foot high-game fencing on private and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuge property located in rural areas of Cameron County, Texas. Fence will be installed in targeted areas to prevent access of CFT host wildlife in tick-free areas. The fence will not obstruct public or private access roads or driveways, nor will it be installed through township areas or across water resources, such as streams and arroyos. These fence portions may connect with other existing game fence or cattle fencing already in place, creating miles of contiguous fencing across a wildlife corridor within the county. This additional fencing will decrease whitetail deer and nilgai antelope movement in several locations or contain cattle on systematic treatment for CFT outside of the Permanent Quarantine Zone.
This project is set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small business firms only. The estimated magnitude of this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The NAICS code is 238990, with a small business size standard of $19 million.
