What does USDA Aphis Ppq Alb do?

The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, through its PPQ ALB office, is dedicated to protecting U.S. agricultural resources from invasive plant pests, with a primary focus on eradicating the Asian longhorned beetle. Its mission centers on safeguarding forests and urban tree canopies through targeted, science-based containment and eradication efforts. Strategic priorities include rapid response to infestations, public-private collaboration in high-risk zones, and the implementation of integrated pest management protocols that minimize ecological disruption. Key programs involve monitoring, quarantine enforcement, and community engagement to prevent the spread of invasive species through regulated movement of wood products and nursery stock. The agency primarily procures landscaping and tree management services to support eradication operations, including tree removal, stump grinding, and site restoration in affected areas. Contract structures typically involve solicitation-based acquisitions under simplified acquisition procedures, often issued as sources-sought notices to gauge industry capacity before formal procurement. Services are frequently procured on an ad hoc basis in response to active infestations, requiring agile contracting mechanisms to meet urgent operational timelines. The agency consistently targets NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) to execute field-level eradication tasks, reflecting its reliance on specialized arboricultural and pest control contractors. It actively utilizes SBA small business set-asides to ensure participation from qualified local firms with expertise in tree care and invasive species management, reinforcing economic resilience in impacted communities. Vendor relationships are built on demonstrated technical proficiency in beetle eradication protocols, compliance with USDA phytosanitary standards, and ability to operate under strict environmental and safety regulations. As a component of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this office operates nationally in coordination with state and local partners to enforce federal plant health regulations. It leverages standard federal procurement vehicles including FAR Part 13 and Part 14 procedures, and relies on interagency agreements to coordinate multi-jurisdictional responses. Its operations are field-driven, with procurement aligned to dynamic outbreak conditions rather than fixed annual cycles.
