Pesticide gas cartridges

The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is soliciting proposals for pesticide gas cartridge tubes to support the Pocatello Supply Depot's wildlife damage management operations. The procurement seeks specialized manufacturing products that are not readily available from commercial sources due to small quantities and infrequent demand intervals. The government intends to award a single firm fixed price indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) commercial supply contract for gas cartridge tubes. The solicitation is posted under NAICS code 322211 for Corrugated and Solid Fiber Box Manufacturing and PSC code 8115 for Boxes, Cartons, and Crates. Proposals are due by August 4, 2025, with the solicitation having been posted on July 21, 2025. The government has provided technical drawings and specifications through attached documents including tube drawings and solicitation details.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualifying small business entities. The contract structure is an IDIQ arrangement with an estimated performance period extending from the date of award through July 31, 2030, encompassing five ordering periods of one year each. No specific contract value or quantity details are provided in the summary information, though the indefinite quantity nature suggests variable ordering requirements based on operational needs. Performance will take place in Pocatello, Idaho, where the Pocatello Supply Depot manufactures wildlife damage management products for APHIS-Wildlife Services personnel and other wildlife management professionals. The depot's mission focuses on providing specialized products that commercial manufacturers typically do not supply due to limited market demand.
