View moreThe United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ), in coordination with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), is conducting a Preventative Release Program to mitigate the environmental and economic impact of fruit fly introductions. This program utilizes the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) to release sterilized male fruit flies into areas historically prone to infestations, such as the Los Angeles Basin. These releases prevent the establishment of pest populations that could otherwise cause millions of dollars in damage and disrupt international and interstate trade.
To support these efforts, the agency intends to establish a firm fixed-price Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for aircraft and crew services. These services involve the aerial release of sterilized fruit flies for the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Preventative Release Program and other additional fruit fly programs throughout California. This solicitation, identified by number 12639524R0023, is classified under NAICS 481219: Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation and PSC F001: NATURAL RESOURCES/CONSERVATION- AERIAL FERTILIZATION/SPRAYING.
