- Description
The Government hereby submits a notice of intent to award a sole source firm fixed price to purchase Defatted Toasted Soybean Grits by Original Foods CO LLC, which is the only company that can provide the soybean grits. Toasted soy protein is a crucial part of the Mexican fruit fly diet. Current contracted vendor, Original Food, Inc., is unable to deliver the first shipment of Toasted Soy Flour on time due to the manufacturer's inability to make the product in the US. The manufacturer, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) , had a fire in their Decatur, IL facility in September 2023 and is now manufacturing the product elsewhere. The rearing facility located in Edinburg, TX is almost out of stock and per vendor, ADM shipped out the product from their facility in Serbia and is scheduled to arrive to New York, NY by 8/30/2024. Once in the states, it can take an additional 4 weeks to arrive it's destination at the Mexican Fruit Fly Rearing Facility in Texas. This is an Emergency purchase required to avoid a production stoppage. A stoppage would negatively impact the agency's ability to meet mission program requirements and will negatively impact the citrus industry in Texas.
CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
A comprehensive review of the alternative product (toasted soy grit) was conducted and approved by S&T Insect Management and Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory (IMMDL) as a viable product for the continuation of mass rearing of the Mexican Fruit Fly.Two other vendors, Batory Foods and St. Charles Trading Inc, were contacted about toasted soy products and neither one had product available due to the same accident from ADM. These two vendors suggested Prolia Soy Flour, which was also tested by S&T and was found NOT suitable for our needs.
The period of performance for this effort will be for immediate delivery.
