The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) requires a research provider to carry out trials to establish the residue profile in fruit from trees and bushes treated for eradication of fruit fly.
Residue trials need to cover bait treatments of Fipronil and Spinetoram at a minimum with Spinosad included as a lower priority if feasible. The research provider will design a trial plan to address the following data needs:
• Determine residue retention on contacted fruit.
• Determine if any residues result from systemic translocation.
• Establish the residue curve and plateau after multiple treatments, and from this calculate the residue decay curve in fruits on treated trees and bushes.
• Determine if washing fruit mitigates risk.
Representative crops will be used that encompass the most commonly treated fruit.
MPI is looking for credible suppliers who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to deliver to our requirements, using expert knowledge of residue trials and testing and current biosecurity practices. Suppliers need to have a good track record of managing and implementing related programmes and developing effective networks and strong relationships with key contacts and third parties.
A pre-condition for this procurement is that the research provider, or any proposed sub-contractor, is an Approved Handler for chemical use under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act (HSNO).
This is an opportunity for a capable research provider to actively contribute to the development of knowledge about residues and food safety following fruit fly treatment, leading to clearer guidance from MPI to the public about when it is safe to eat treated fruit.
