About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) Midwest Area office awarded a delivery order valued at $7,142.25 to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center for core facilities equipment usage during the January–March 2025 period. This firm fixed price delivery order was issued on January 16, 2025, with final completion scheduled for March 31, 2025, and represents work to be performed at the Center's facility in Olivette, Missouri. The award was made without a small business set-aside, allowing the nonprofit research institute to serve as the sole source provider for these specialized plant science capabilities. This delivery order falls under the Center's broader indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contract with USDA ARS, which carries a ceiling value of $94,656.69 and extends through December 31, 2025.
The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, an independent nonprofit research institute based in St. Louis, Missouri, provides the USDA with access to advanced plant science research facilities and equipment, including plant growth systems, phenotyping equipment, transformation laboratories, microscopy systems, and bioinformatics resources. Through its ongoing IDV relationship with USDA ARS since at least 2022, the Center has become an integral strategic partner in the federal government's agricultural research infrastructure, enabling the agency to rapidly access specialized capabilities in support of research priorities such as drought resilience, gene editing, and crop data analytics without requiring lengthy procurement processes. The Center's sustained engagement with federal agencies extends beyond USDA contracts to include substantial grant funding from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy's Office of Science, and other federal partners supporting its mission to advance plant science research addressing global challenges in food security and sustainable agriculture.
