AI Contract Overview

The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), under the Plant Protections and Quarantine (PPQ) program, seeks to procure 80 rolls of a highly specialized 25g Poly medical packaging grade fiber-free peelable paper lidding material from Oliver Products Company, the sole known supplier capable of meeting the strict specifications. This material, intended for use as lidding on Pink Bollworm rearing containers, must possess a unique moisture vapor transmission rate and oxygen transmission rate as established by in-house studies critical to the successful rearing of the pest. Additionally, the paper requires a uniform dot-patterned, non-toxic hot melt sealable adhesive coating to ensure consistent adhesion to rigid PVC plastic substrates. This single-source procurement, conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), follows commercial item acquisition procedures outlined in FAR Part 12 and is not open for competitive proposals. The effort is advertised under NAICS code 322221 and managed by the USDA office in Minneapolis, MN. Communications regarding the contract are to be directed exclusively via email to Contracting Officer Gloria J. Benson. The specificity of the product's functional and physical requirements, combined with the necessity for sterile barrier properties, emphasizes the critical nature of selecting a supplier capable of fully satisfying the stringent technical standards necessitated by the PBW rearing process.
