Delivery Order 12505B21D0011-12505B24F0013

The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a delivery order valued at $53,666.94 to Aantilia LLC for the provision of specialty laboratory gases to support the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (NCAUR) in Peoria, Illinois. The contract, awarded on November 28, 2023, operates under a firm fixed-price structure with a completion date of September 30, 2024. Aantilia LLC, an economically disadvantaged women-owned small business headquartered in Austin, Texas, holds SBA certifications as both an EDWOSB (Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business) and WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business). This delivery order was issued without a set-aside designation, allowing the vendor to compete in the open market against all eligible contractors.

This award represents a continuation of Aantilia's established relationship with USDA's Agricultural Research Service, which previously maintained an indefinite delivery contract with the vendor valued at approximately $407,941.32 for specialty laboratory gas supply. The National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, a principal research facility within the Agricultural Research Service, conducts applied research supporting agricultural product utilization and value-added product development. Aantilia's extensive federal contracting experience—encompassing over 150 awards across civilian and defense agencies including the U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Defense, NASA, and the VA—demonstrates the company's sustained capability to deliver specialized scientific and laboratory equipment and supplies to federal procuring activities.
