Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services

The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services is a sub-agency of USDA that procures veterinary pharmaceuticals, wildlife management services and equipment, plant health diagnostics supplies, real estate leases for inspection and quarantine facilities, and operational support across the agency's animal and plant protection mission.

APHIS MRPBS has awarded 5,779 federal contracts totaling $1.52 billion in combined potential value since 1999, with $984.3 million obligated to date. Contract award volume has declined over the last five years, declining from 325 awards in 2022 to 223 in 2023, 246 in 2024, 145 in 2025, and 105 year-to-date in 2026. The agency works with 1,498 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio. Competitive concentration is highly fragmented; the top five primes by award count hold only 11 percent of recent awards. New TECH Solutions, Inc. leads by award count with 32 awards over the last five years, followed by Clean Harbors Environmental Services Inc. with 25 awards and Composting Sme, LLC and Trofholz Technologies, Inc. each with 20 awards. By potential value, New TECH Solutions, Inc. also leads at $2.8 million, but the top five hold only 1 percent of combined potential value — a signal that the agency transacts heavily through small-dollar awards, task orders, or purchase orders. The set-aside distribution is heavily skewed toward open competition: 90 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while total small-business set-asides account for 7 percent, 8(a) sole-source awards for 2 percent, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, competitive 8(a), HUBZone, and other set-asides each under 1 percent.

Current contract opportunities reflect the agency's operational and mission scope. Open solicitations include a lease for 1,950 to 2,150 square feet of office and warehouse space in Pasco, Washington (due November 6, 2026), a request for quotation for 2,400 bottles of Dectomax 500 ml Injectable solution for animal health support (due October 30, 2026, total small business set-aside), a solicitation for Molecular Transport Media Tubes for high path avian influenza testing (due October 14, 2026, total small business set-aside), and a request for proposal for Foot and Mouth Disease Vaccine Antigen Concentrate procurement and storage (due November 10, 2026, unrestricted).

Additional open opportunities cover office furniture in Fresno, California (multiple small-business RFQs, most recent due October 23, 2026 with amendments through October 16), real estate leases in Indio, California and Cocoa, Florida (pre-solicitation expressions of interest due October 12 and November 2, 2026 respectively), and specialized equipment and supplies including HDPE bird netting, refrigerated trailers, modified shipping containers for Guam, and semi-automatic rifles for the feral swine program — the vast majority of which are total small-business set-asides with due dates in mid-to-late September and early October 2026.
