Colorado State University's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory was awarded a delivery order valued at $3,990 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services division for National Animal Health Laboratory Network diagnostic testing services. The delivery order, issued on April 29, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of April 28, 2027, represents a firm fixed-price contract with no set-aside designation. This award is issued under a parent indefinite delivery contract valued at $20 million through August 31, 2026, which authorizes CSU to provide specialized animal disease surveillance and diagnostic testing services critical to national agricultural security and food safety objectives.

The work will be performed at CSU's facilities in Fort Collins, Colorado. CSU's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory has established itself as a premier federal contractor specializing in highly pathogenic avian influenza surveillance and testing, bovine spongiform encephalopathy diagnostics, scrapie testing, antimicrobial resistance and susceptibility testing, whole-genome sequencing analysis, and SARS-CoV-2 testing in wild canids and mesocarnivores. The laboratory's comprehensive delivery order portfolio with APHIS, ranging from approximately $585 to $854,000 per order, demonstrates consistent utilization across multiple USDA operating units to support urgent animal health monitoring and disease surveillance initiatives.
