Procurement Summary
This requirement is for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal Plant Health and Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS), Pocatello Supply Depot (PSD). The objective of this acquisition is to procure forty-five (45) kilograms of 3-Chloro-PToluidine Hydrochloride (CPTH). CPTH is used by WS to control invasive species that pose a threat to human healthy and safety, cause property damage, or may spread zoonotic disease. There is only one company (American Tokyo Kasai, dba TCI America UEI ZJHVFL1CQ45) whose product has been tested and approved for use as a pesticide. Two other companies are in the process of having their products tested, but all three source the primary ingredients for CPTH from either China or India. No other known product can meet the Government's need.
Waiver Rationale Summary
The requirement was publicly posted multiple times. Although three potential sources were identified, all three source their primary material from outside of the U.S, and only one has been approved for use as a pesticide. There is no U.S.-made equivalent that can meet the Government's requirements.
