General ALB Survey and Treatment

The USDA APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine Asian Longhorned Beetle program is soliciting sources capable of conducting comprehensive survey and treatment activities for the ALB infestation across the United States. Current operations include climbing surveys in New York City, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, ground surveys in Worcester, MA, and treatment efforts in New York City, Staten Island, Worcester, and Boston. There is also an existing long-term contract for treatment services throughout Massachusetts. This Request for Information seeks to inform the acquisition approach by gathering detailed capability statements from interested companies, including their experience, workforce size, and regions where they can perform climbing surveys, ground surveys, and treatment work, regardless of current infestation status. Respondents must provide concise capability descriptions limited to two pages per service category and identify all states where they are qualified to operate. The outcomes from this process will help determine whether procurement will occur through small business set-asides, GSA schedules, open competition, or cooperative agreements with state entities. Generic statements of work for all services are provided to guide submissions. Nathan Johnson is the primary contact for this sources-sought solicitation, which falls under NAICS code 115310, related to pest control services within the agricultural sector.
