Summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is seeking quotes for an optical sorter to be used at the Mexican Fruit Fly Rearing Facility in Edinburg, Texas. This facility is responsible for producing sterile fruit flies to combat the pest Anastrepha ludens, which affects citrus crops in the U.S. The new optical sorter will be essential for the upcoming production of a new strain of fruit fly, the Black Pupae Strain (BPS-10), which allows for the sorting of male and female flies based on their color pigmentation. Contractors with experience in manufacturing and supplying specialized sorting equipment, particularly those familiar with agricultural applications, are encouraged to bid on this opportunity. The project is set aside for small businesses, making it an ideal opportunity for qualified small contractors in the analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing sector.
