View moreThe United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service issued solicitation 12639518SDARL as a notice of intent to award a contract for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) sample collection services on a sole source basis to Darling International. The agency requires the collection of obex tissue samples from targeted adult cattle populations at slaughter facilities to support national disease surveillance. This procurement is classified under NAICS 561990 All Other Support Services and PSC code B.
While the government typically utilizes a network of small businesses to collect these samples, Darling International represents a high-value sample stream due to the volume of adult cattle processed at its facilities. Darling International manages its own rendering operations rather than outsourcing to third-party small businesses, necessitating a direct award to the firm to access these specific tissue samples. Further details regarding the rationale and authority for this sole source action are contained in one attachment titled JOFOC_-_Sole_Source__Brand_Name_Template_signed_JU.pdf.
