- Description
- A sole source blanket purchase agreement (BPA) was awarded to 3M Company, headquartered in Saint Paul, MN. The BPA is restricted to Petrifilm brand and Tecra brand testing supplies used for grain commodity testing under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). The total amount of the award is not to exceed $250,000.00 over a 5-year period of performance. Justification Statement: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), GIPSA (Grain, Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration), TSD (Technical Services Division) Laboratory in Kansas City, MO is responsible for maintaining the reference methods for all official services provided by GIPSA to facilitate the marketing of grain, providing official services, and developing and maintaining methods for accurately predicting the quality of grain and grain products moving through the U.S. marketplace. GIPSA has standardized specific commodity testing protocols to ensure accuracy and consistency of GIPSA's test results. The standardized microbial testing uses Petrifilm® and Tecra® brand test plates, and test kits that are solely available from 3M. Based on market research by GIPSA scientists, the use of another company's test plates and or test kits would require extensive testing, and the current methods using 3M products are accepted by the international trading partners of the U.S.
