The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station (CAES) for research services comparing the efficacy of synthetic acaricides. The project evaluates sprays versus granules to assess their impact on host-seeking *Ixodes scapularis* ticks and non-target arthropods, specifically pollinators, during the fall and following spring. This work serves as a logical continuation of prior CDC-funded studies completed by CAES, utilizing the same geographical area, application methods, and sampling methodologies to ensure scientific continuity and the accurate interpretation of results alongside historical data.
This procurement is classified under NAICS 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC AJ12 for General Science and Technology R&D Services; General Science and Technology; Applied Research. The government cited the unique ability of CAES to maintain consistency in study design and environmental conditions as the rationale for the sole source designation. While the place of performance is listed as Atlanta, Georgia, the field research will occur in the established study areas maintained by the contractor.
The solicitation is identified by number 99226 and falls under the authority of Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
