- Description
- The Food and Drug Administration intends to award a non-competitive, sole source contract to the University of Maryland to compare antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of salmonella and enterococcus isolated from organically raised poultry with those from conventionally raised poultry. The work to be performed requires interested offerors to demonstrate previous experience with and access to organic and conventional poultry farmers and their production facilities. Performance under this contract includes identifying a statistically representative sample of organic and conventional farms; developing antimicrobial use histories for the selected farms; developing sampling protocols; achieving concurrence of isolation, identification, and susceptibility testing protocols with those used by the FDA; collecting samples; and performing analyses for the isolation, identification, speciation, and determination of antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. Other parties besides the University of Maryland interested in and capable of performing this work shall submit their capability statement on or before August 8, 2002.
