About this award

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service awarded a $67.5K firm fixed price purchase order to Cryogenetics, Inc., a small business, for cryopreservation services supporting Atlantic salmon and lumpfish sperm preservation at the National Cold Water Marine Aquaculture Center in Franklin, Maine. Under this total small business set-aside contract, Cryogenetics will preserve 60 Atlantic salmon sperm samples annually (240 packs capable of fertilizing 5,000 eggs each) from October through December, and 60 lumpfish sperm samples (300 straws capable of fertilizing 200 eggs per straw) from March through May. The contractor must supply cryopreservation products, including AquaBoost Activators and SpermCoat products, that maintain milt viability for up to two weeks when stored at 4 degrees Celsius and provide detailed analysis reports documenting sperm concentration, motility, and contamination data for each sample.

The contract runs from September 29, 2025 through September 28, 2026, with four one-year option periods extending through September 28, 2030, though lumpfish preservation services are limited to a single year of performance. Work will be performed at the contractor's Franklin, Maine facility, with samples ultimately shipped on an FOB destination basis to the Agricultural Genetic Resources Preservation Research facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. The award was made under RFQ 1232SA25Q0843 using a lowest-priced technically acceptable evaluation methodology, with NAICS code 541990 and a small business size standard of $19.5 million.
