- Description
- The US Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement for GfK Kenetec Inc.s AgroTrak pesticide usage data. The U.S. Geological Survey requires data on agricultural pesticide use in the United States. GfK Kenetec Inc. provides information on the amount and distribution of pesticide usage in the U.S., as well as seed trait information indicating the use of genetically modified crops. This data is needed in order for the U.S. Geological Surveys National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program to study the effects of pesticides on water quality. Annual use estimates are required for major crops and all significant active pesticide ingredients at the geographic level of Crop Reporting Districts (CRDs), including all CRDs in the United States. Annual use statistics are required for 2012 and 2013, including reliability estimates for each year, and annual seed trait data for cotton, corn, and soybeans for 2012-2013 (also reported at the CRD level). The USGS is aware of no other source that can provide the above. Therefore, it intends to make an award to GfK Kenetec Inc., unless it is contacted by any vendor who believes they obtained similar technical expertise and can provide the same service. Vendors are invited to contact the Contracting Specialist, kmoris@usgs.gov no later than 12:00 PM EST, Wednesday, December 19, 2012 with an affirmative answer.
