Delivery Order 12639522D0080-12639526F0067

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) awarded a task order to County Services Inc. for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) sample collection services in New Mexico under an existing indefinite delivery contract (IDC 12639522D0080). This delivery order, valued at $94,600 with a firm fixed price structure, calls for the collection of 473 Type B BSE samples and is scheduled for completion by December 2, 2026. The work will be performed in Plainview, Texas, and no set-aside designation was used in this competitive procurement. This task order is part of APHIS's comprehensive disease surveillance and monitoring program mandated under the Animal Health Protection Act to test cattle herds for BSE and prevent its spread, supporting the federal government's efforts to maintain rigorous animal health standards and demonstrate the safety of U.S. beef exports.

County Services Inc., a for-profit entity based in Plainview, Texas, specializes exclusively in providing BSE sample collection services to USDA APHIS, primarily collecting brain stem samples from cattle herds across multiple states in the southwestern United States. The company operates under a single-award indefinite delivery contract with a total ceiling value of $3.537 million and an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027, which enables APHIS to issue task orders for BSE sample collection as operational needs arise. County Services Inc. competes in the open market for these contracts and has established a consistent track record with APHIS Veterinary Services and Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services divisions.
