- Description
- This solicitation is being offered to encourage interested parties to develop a dispersal system mounted on a fixed wing aircraft to apply Disrupt II (pheromone flakes) using Gelva 2333 as a sticker. Current technology for applying the pheromone flakes and sticker is the Hercon pod mounted on fixed-wing aircraft (Air Tractor). Due to availability of the components and the complexity of the pods, there is a need to develop flake dispersal systems using technology that is more readily available. The dispersal system must be designed, built and mounted on a fixed wing aircraft and meet the criteria i.e. calibration and characterization, before it will be considered for use under this solicitation. This solicitation is to test the operational readiness of new flake/sticker dispersal system technology. Potential test blocks may be located in the following states: North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The treatment acreage will be confined to one state for each prospective bidder. Areas selected for treatment under this proposal will be identified in the RFP. Application is expected to occur sometime between mid June to early July 2005. One application of Disrupt II at two rates will be applied to approximately 10,000 acres in treatment blocks located in the Slow the Spread (STS) action area in 2005. All technical questions should be addressed to Donna Leonard at (828) 257-4329 or Dee Dee Sellers at (540) 432-8245.
