National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) hasa requirement for 21, 30-gallon drums of Dibrom 14 to control mosquitoes in outlyingareas of KSC, where the use of aerial equipment is necessary to apply chemicals to areasimpossible to spray without an aircraft. Dibrom 14 is supplied annually by KSC to theBrevard County Mosquito Control District (BCMCD) in accordance with the Mosquito ControlAgreement between KSC, Air Force Eastern Test Range, US Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS), and Brevard County. AMVAC Chemical Corporation, the manufacturer of Dibrom 14,has verified that Adapco, Incorporated of Sanford, Florida is the sole distributor ofthis product for the state of Florida. Other authorized distributors are prohibited fromdistributing the product beyond their state or assigned territory. KSC intends to purchase the 21, 30-gallon drums of Dibrom 14 from Adapco, Incorporated ofSanford, Florida. Dibrom 14 is an adulticide used to control mosquitoes. There areseveral areas at the Launch Pads and Launch Complex 39, where normal chemicals used atKSC cannot be sprayed due to chemical corrosiveness and flight hardware. Moreover, theseareas are also very large and impossible to spray without an aircraft, which KSC does notpossess. The Mosquito Control Agreement provides the equipment (aircraft) to spray largeareas of water in the KSC area to control mosquitoes without having to spray directlyaround the pads. KSC procures and supplies the Dibrom 14 to BCMCD for spraying. Dibrom 14is the only chemical that can be used, because it is the only chemical BCMCD is licensedto spray in the KSC and impound areas.
