IAW Attachment 1 - Statement of Work, The Livestock Arthropod Pest Research Unit (LAPRU) includes the Cattle Fever Tick Research Laboratory (CFTRL), which operates under biosecurity at the USDA Moore Air Base near Edinburg, Texas.
This is a satellite facility of the Knipling-Bushland U.S.
Livestock Insects Research Laboratory (KBUSLIRL) in Kerrville, Texas.
Scientific endeavors at the CFTRL deliver technologies that the USDA Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program can integrate to keep the U.S. free of cattle fever ticks in a sustainable manner.
This ensures continued prosperity of the U.S. livestock industry.
Unique assets at the CFTRL include cattle fever tick colonies, barns for studies with cattle that can be artificially infested with ticks, and pastures providing the ability to conduct studies with infested cattle resembling field conditions.
However, modernization of the facilities is required to keep up with the expansion of the research program at the CFTRL that is underway to meet the expectations of the U.S. livestock industry and other stakeholders’ groups.
The current perimeter fence around pasture 7 is allowing wildlife onto the facility.
This puts the facility at risk of losing our quarantine zones.
Official solicitation and documents
The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.
Oppward is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any government agency. This page is a plain-English summary of public record data; the linked source above is the authoritative listing.
How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
