About this agency
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery Northeast Area is a civilian sub-agency that conducts and funds agricultural research and support services across the Northeast region. The Northeast Area executes contract awards for field research implementation, laboratory operations, facilities management, and information delivery supporting the Agricultural Research Service mission.
The Northeast Area has awarded 9,890 federal contracts since October 2003, with combined potential value of $778.5 million and $711.3 million obligated (91% of combined potential). Annual award volume over the last five years totaled 365 awards in 2022, 427 in 2023, 372 in 2024, 188 in 2025, and 198 so far in 2026. The most recent award closed on October 12, 2026.
Competition is highly fragmented. The top five primes by award count over the last five years—Government Scientific Source Inc. (55 awards), Illumina, Inc. (52 awards), Ettm JV LLC (44 awards), Akima Facilities Operations LLC (36 awards), and The Johnson-Mcadams Firm, P.A. (31 awards)—hold only 14 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value, the same five capture just 4 percent of recent award value. Across the portfolio lifetime, 2,345 distinct prime contractors have received awards. The dominance of open competition reflects the Northeast Area's research and field-support character: small, specialized service providers and scientific vendors win the bulk of work, often for laboratory leasing, facilities operations, and targeted research tasks.
Set-asides account for 21 percent of all awards. Small Business set-asides (13 percent of awards) dominate among set-aside categories, followed by 8(a) Sole Source (5 percent) and Competitive 8(a) (2 percent). Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, and other designated categories together comprise less than 1 percent of awards. Open, unrestricted awards account for 79 percent of the contract portfolio.
No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded in the source material. The Northeast Area operates as a research and field-support contracting entity rather than a solicitation-driven acquisition office; contract activity is typically fielded through standing relationships and task-order releases against existing agreements rather than open federal solicitations posted to SAM.gov.
