The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services awarded a $3,000 firm fixed-price delivery order to the Livestock & Poultry Commission Arkansas for Foreign Animal Disease (FAD) testing services under the National Animal Health Laboratory Network program. The delivery order, issued on April 23, 2026, with performance completion by April 22, 2027, represents work to be performed at the Commission's laboratory facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. This award carries no set-aside designation and is issued under APHIS's broader $20 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Commission, which runs through November 2026 and authorizes the procurement of various animal laboratory testing services focused primarily on highly pathogenic avian influenza and foreign animal disease surveillance.

The Livestock & Poultry Commission Arkansas is a state government entity that serves as a critical partner in the national animal health protection infrastructure, providing diagnostic testing and emergency response services essential to livestock and poultry disease surveillance and prevention efforts. The Commission's work under APHIS contracts supports the agency's regulatory programs by leveraging specialized expertise and laboratory capabilities to monitor and test for potential disease threats across Arkansas and Iowa, contributing to rapid identification and response capabilities for disease outbreaks that could impact national animal agriculture.
