This is a delivery order contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to Landus Cooperative, a small agricultural cooperative in Iowa. The contract, valued at $11,502.60, is for the delivery of specialized cattle and dairy cow feed products to support ongoing agricultural research programs in the Midwest region. The contract is a firm fixed price delivery order off of an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract (12505B23D0002) held by Landus Cooperative with the USDA ARS. The feed products being provided, which include cow lactation premix, dry cattle premix, calf grower diets, and soybean meal, are critical for maintaining research herds and conducting studies on animal nutrition, health, and productivity. This contract award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating that Landus Cooperative was able to compete effectively in the open market. The cooperative also received a substantial $4,885,988 grant from the USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services to expand its domestic fertilizer production capacity, further supporting the U.S. agricultural sector.
