The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Veterans Courier Group, LLC for fiscal year 2023 courier services. The contract, valued at approximately $69.7K, was set aside for total small business and carries an ultimate completion date of June 19, 2028. The award was made on June 20, 2023, following a solicitation posted on May 5, 2023, with a response deadline of June 13, 2023. Services will be performed in Olivette, Missouri.
The courier services contract supports NASS operations, which are responsible for collecting and disseminating agricultural data and statistics essential to the nation's farming industry and agricultural policymakers. As a small business set-aside award, this contract provides Veterans Courier Group, LLC an opportunity to serve a federal civilian agency while the federal government fulfills its small business contracting obligations. The extended completion timeline through mid-2028 suggests ongoing, routine courier services rather than a one-time delivery requirement.
