Livestock Poultry and Seed Program

The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Livestock Poultry and Seed Program is a civilian sub-agency that procures analytical, market intelligence, and standards-development services to support livestock, poultry, and seed market transparency and regulation. The Program has awarded 1,900 federal contracts totaling $1.82 billion in combined potential value since 2006, with 233 distinct prime contractors participating in the portfolio. Recent contract volume has declined: the Program issued 9 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 5 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recent award dated in June 2026. All $1.82 billion in combined potential value has been obligated.

Among primes active over the last five years, New TECH Solutions, Inc. leads by award count with 11 awards totaling $747 thousand in combined potential value, followed by Dtn, LLC and Urner Barry Publications, Inc., each with 4 awards. By potential value, Jaggaer, LLC leads with a single $6.4 million award, while New TECH Solutions remains active with $747 thousand across 11 contracts. Competitive concentration is concentrated: the top five primes by award count account for 62 percent of recent awards, though the by-value concentration is minimal given that the majority of the portfolio consists of sub-million awards with limited reported values. Notably, recent awards transact heavily through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, and below-threshold purchase orders, meaning the top-value figures likely understate broader engagement with leading vendors.

The contract set-aside mix is heavily concentrated in unrestricted competition: 1,759 awards (93 percent) carry no set-aside designation. Small-business participation is limited to 115 awards (6 percent combined across Partial Small Business, Total Small Business, Competitive 8(a), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business), with a further 7 awards (less than 1 percent) under 8(a) Sole Source.

The most recent recorded award date is June 2026. No contract opportunities or grant-making activity is recorded against the Program or its descendant offices in the available source data.
