Description
USDA APHIS intend to establish a multiple year Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for Food Grade Methylparaben Powder. Pre-award sampled will be required.
The Mexican Fruit Fly (Anastrepha ludens) is a serious pest to various fruits, particularly citrus and mango. Mexican fruit fly was first found in Central Mexico in 1863, and by the early 1950s flies were found along the California-Mexico border. The pest has since been detected in Arizona, California and Texas. A large number of commercially grown crops, including avocado, grapefruit, orange, peach and pear, would be threatened if the Mexican fruit fly becomes more established.
Food Grade Methylparaben is used primarily in our artificial diet formula for its anti-fungal properties. Methylparaben is used as a preservative in the larval diet of the Mexican Fruit Fly to inhibit mold and other microbial growth.
The artificial diet is prepared and inoculated with Anastepha ludens eggs, held for eight (8) days in environmental controlled rooms conducive for larval development. Methyl paraben is necessary to control the fungal load in the diet of the developing larvae over the course of eight (8) days. There are two additional minor applications for this product for the production of adult diet formula and the fertile colony support. The food Grade Methylparaben powder is used in Mexican Fruit Fly Larval Diets as a preservative.
THIS IS ONLY THE PRESOLICITATION NOTICE ONLY. SOLICITATION WILL BE POSTED SOON.
