The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) awarded a $5,526 firm fixed price purchase order to the Regents of the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Division to conduct water sample analysis for lakes in the Chequamegon-Nicolet, Hiawatha, Ottawa, and Superior National Forests in the Eastern Region. This work is part of a larger $20 million indefinite delivery contract the lab holds with USDA APHIS for a range of animal disease testing and diagnostic services, including highly pathogenic avian influenza, classical swine fever, African swine fever, and antimicrobial resistance testing. The contract, awarded in September 2021, allows USDA APHIS to issue firm fixed price delivery orders to access the lab's specialized capabilities and facilities as needed to support its agriculture protection programs. No set-aside designation was used for this specific award.
