About this agency
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that procures scientific equipment, materials, construction services, and research support through a highly distributed contract network serving agricultural research missions nationwide. The agency has issued 64,295 federal contract awards since 2002, accumulating $4.18 billion in combined potential value with $3.57 billion obligated to date. Contract award activity has declined markedly in recent years: 2,596 awards in 2023, 2,319 in 2024, 1,129 in 2025, 1,289 in 2026, and 1 award recorded for 2027 so far.
Competition for the agency's contract work is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count hold only 10 percent of recent awards, led by Government Scientific Source Inc. with 335 awards valued at $19.5 million combined potential value, followed by Fisher Scientific Company L.L.C. with 197 awards ($6.7 million) and Illumina, Inc. with 163 awards ($8.6 million). By potential value, the top five account for just 4 percent of combined value, with Firelake Construction Inc. dominating at 135 awards worth $78.8 million, followed by The Johnson-Mcadams Firm, P.A. with 140 awards at $31 million. The agency transacts with 11,205 distinct prime contractors, reflecting significant market dispersion typical of research support and facility procurement operations.
The vast majority of awards carry no set-aside designation: 52,213 awards (81 percent) are unrestricted. Small Business set-asides account for 8,985 awards (14 percent), predominantly through traditional small-business classifications rather than targeted socioeconomic set-asides. 8(a) awards—both Sole Source (2,129 awards, 3 percent) and Competitive (493 awards, 1 percent)—represent the second-largest restricted category. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, and other minority or disadvantaged-vendor set-asides each constitute less than 1 percent of the portfolio. No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data. The most recently recorded award date falls in May 2027, indicating continued but significantly reduced transactional volume relative to 2023–2024 baseline activity.
