- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) located in Ames, IA intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Zoetis (a division of Pfizer, Inc.) located in Madison, NJ for Tuberculin, PPD Bovis, Intradermic in 10 ml vials. The tuberculin is used to determine whether animals are infected with bovine tuberculosis. The specific tuberculin to be purchased comes from lot #10055 produced by Colorado Serum Company (CSC). CSC is the only manufacturer currently licensed by the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics to produce PPD Bovis tuberculin. The tuberculin from lot #10055 was previously produced under contract with the USDA. The previous contract has since expired, and solicitation AG-6395-S-13-0056 is currently open for any company interested in obtaining a license to manufacture and offer tuberculin to the USDA. Previously purchased tuberculin from lot #10055 is currently being used by the National Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication Program for field testing. An additional interim purchase valued at NTE $45,030.00 will be made from Zoetis, the sole distributer of the tuberculin, to fulfill a current ongoing need until a new contract can be established. This is not a request for quote, and no formal solicitation will be issued. This notice is for informational purposes only. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Anyone interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide PDD Bovine tuberculin in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to michael.j.chiodi@aphis.usda.gov. The deadline for the submittal of responses is 1:00 pm central time, April 4, 2013.
