- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ), Edinburg, TX intends to acquire approximately 37,500 Gypsy Moth DDVP Pest Dispensers. This is a gypsy moth pheromone dispenser used to detect infestations outside of generally infested areas. Once an infestation has been detected, a grid of traps is used to delimit the area of infestation. Although the number of traps used in detection survey can be fairly well predicted from year-to year, the use for delimiting will vary. Pheromone dispensers are used for "mass trapping" as a control measure. Pheromone dispensers are also used to monitor generally infested areas. SPECIFICATIONS: Laminate strips, 1" (25mm) wide X4" (100 mm) long by 2 mm thick. These strips contain vapona, 2.2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphae (DDVP) 10% by weight (ca 0.6g).

The shipping documentation shall contain the solicitation number/purchase order number and the item identification. (b) Within 14 calendar days after the Government receives the first article, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor in writing of the conditional approval, approval or disapproval of the first article. The notice of conditional approval or disapproval shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with all requirements of the specifications and all other terms and conditions of this contract. A notice of conditional approval shall state any further action required of the Contractor. A notice of disapproval shall cite reasons for the disapproval. (c) If the first article is disapproved, the Contractor, upon Government request, shall submit an additional first article for testing. All cost related to these tests are to be borne by the Contractor, including any and all costs for additional tests following a disapproval. The contractor shall furnish any additional first article to the Government under the terms and conditions and within the time specified by the Government. The Government shall act on this first article within the time limit specified above in paragraph (b) above. The Government reserves the right to require an equitable adjustment for the contract price for any extension of the delivery schedule or for any additional costs to the Government related to these tests. (d) If the contractor fails to deliver any first article on time or Contracting Officer disapproves any first article, the Contractor shall be deemed to have failed to make delivery within the meaning of the Default Clause of contract. (e) Unless otherwise provided in the contract, the Contractor may deliver the approved first article as a part of the contract quantity, provided it meets all contract requirements for acceptance and was not consumed or destroyed in testing; and shall remove and dispose of any first article from the Government test facility at the Contractor's expense.
