View moreThe United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) intends to award a sole source contract to Darling International for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) sample collection services. The agency utilizes a network of businesses to collect obex tissue samples from target adult cattle populations at slaughter facilities throughout the country to support animal health monitoring. Unlike other facilities that outsource rendering operations to third-party small businesses, Darling International manages its own operations, requiring a direct award to access the high volume of adult cattle samples passing through its facilities.
This requirement is identified under solicitation number 12639518SDARL and falls under NAICS 561990 All Other Support Services and PSC B. The procurement is being conducted as a special notice, and the government has provided one attachment containing the signed justification for the sole source award. Responses to this notice must be submitted to the point of contact, Robert J. Zeglin, by the deadline of December 28, 2017.
