Description
The USDA, ARS, MSA intends to award a sole source procurement to S & B Cattle Company, 1406 N Forbes RD., Lexington KY. 40511, as we have a Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement with S &B Cattle Co. to supply 90 head of cattle per year for a collaborative research project dealing with mitigation of fescue toxicosis. The 90 head of mixed breed cattle are loaned to the Forage Animal Production Unit for approximately 6 months of the project. These cattle are subjected to specific grazing treatments. There is a need to purchase 30 of these cattle following the grazing portion of the research project that have been treated identically to those on the project for a pen study for assessing recovery from fescue toxicosis and tissue levels of ergot alkaloids. Theses cattle have undergone this set of controlled treatments and therefore are the only cattle that will meet our research requirement. This sole source procurement is pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
