- Description
- The Food and Drug Administration intends to award sole source contracts to State Agencies for Egg Inspections. The State Agencies must have the authority and capability necessary to gain access to private commercial establishments in order to conduct regulatory inspections in accordance with the Federal, Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. On July 9, 2009, FDA published a final rule requiring shell egg producers to implement certain measures to prevent salmonella enteritidis (SE) from contaminating eggs on the farm from further growth during storage and transportation. The final rule, which is codified in 21 CFR 118, was implemented in a staggered fashion with larger producers (greater than 50,000 layers) required to be in compliance by July 9, 2010 and smaller producers (3,000-49,999 layers) being in compliance by July 9, 2012. It is anticipated that all awards will be made for a 12 month period contract to all producers this fiscal year. The solicitation will be available on or about April 8, 2014 on the FedBizOpps website at http://fedbizopps.gov. Prospective offerors are responsible for downloading the solicitation and the amendments. Hard copies will be provided to individuals eligible under the Americans with Disabilities Act upon request. The proposed contract actions are for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source as authorized by statute under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (5). This notice is issued for informational purposes and is not a request for competitive proposals. Any interested party should submit a statement of capabilities in sufficient detail to determine if the requirements of this synopsis can be met no later than 15 days from the date of this announcement. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contracts based on responses from this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses to this notice must be sent via e-mail to; Julia.savage@fda.hhs.gov. No phone calls will be accepted.
