A Request for Quote (RFQ) solicitation and firm fixed priced contract is contemplated depending upon the responses to this synopsis. Response is strictly voluntary - it is not mandatory to submit a response to this notice to participate in any formal RFQ process that may take place in the future. However, it should be noted that information gathered through this notice may significantly influence our acquisition strategy. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service (FS) cooperative National Spongy Moth Slow the Spread program (STS) works collaboratively with 11 states [Illinois (IL), Indiana (IN), Iowa (IA), Kentucky (KY), North Carolina (NC), Ohio (OH), Minnesota (MN), Tennessee (TN), Virginia (VA), West Virginia (WV), and Wisconsin (WI)] to reduce the rate of spread of spongy moth (Lymantria dispar). Applications for mating disruption are annually implemented to suppress newly established spongy moth populations in the STS program. One formulation of these mating disruptants will be considered for the project. Mating disruptants are formulated to slowly release the active ingredient, racemic disparlure, which is a synthetically produced spongy moth pheromone, over a period of several weeks when spongy moth adults are active and mating. The cloud of pheromone that is released disrupts the male moth�s ability to locate and mate with female moths, thereby suppressing the following year�s population. The contractor shall perform mating disruption services in accordance with the attached DRAFT Performance Work Statement. Please include the following in a response to this sources sought notice. Company/Organization Name Company/Organization UEI Point of Contact (POC) Name POC Phone Number POC Email Address Indicate the size classification of your company/organization Provide a brief statement addressing work experience of a similar nature, scope, complexity, and difficulty to that which will be performed under the prospective requirement. All responses shall be emailed to the Contract Specialist, Shannon Wrobel at shannon.wrobel@usda.gov with a courtesy copy to Contract Officer Laniece Nixon at laniece.nixon@usda.gov.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 115310 · PSC F105 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit stores the source notice text, but its length does not prove the requirements are complete. Review official attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A before relying on the description.
The source data includes 1 public contracting contact. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
