- Description
- Special Notice 14SLJH960 The USDA National Animal Disease Center in Ames, IA, intends to award a procurement of 190 3-week-old pigs to WeSearch, LLC. This animal procurement will be conducted in accordance with the procedures in FAR Part 13.106 and 6.303-2. The purchase determination is based on recent herd health veterinary testing verifying the source herd to be free of influenza virus and antibodies against influenza virus, free of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, free of respiratory and enteric disease and must be confirmed porcine epidemic diarrhea virus negative as well as sound of foot and body. The nature of the research requires outbred commercial pigs of extremely high health status and free of the listed specific pathogens that would interfere with experimental design and results if the pigs were infected with the pathogens. The pigs must be weaned from a single farm site to maintain similar age, health and genetics and be delivered directly to the National Animal Disease Center facility in Ames, Iowa with no other holdings between. We have determined WeSearch, LLC to be the only source able to supply the health requirements as well as the number of pigs required for the research. It has been determined that procurement of animals not satisfying the above requirements would be devastating to the ongoing research projects and could negatively impact other ongoing porcine projects at the laboratory facility were the above diseases to be introduced to current research herds. This vendor maintains the high herd health required for our ongoing project and is of an agreeable travel distance as to reduce negative animal impact. The cost has been determined fair and reasonable based on current technical knowledge of fair market value. The anticipated purchase order value is $33450.00. This is not a request for quotation. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can obtain/provide the required animals. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, sara.l.matchie@aphis.usda.gov. The deadline for the submittal of responses is 5:00 pm central time, April 30, 2014.
