About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a $275,922 firm fixed-price purchase order to Cyagen Biomodels LLC on September 30, 2023, for the development of novel gene-targeted mouse models to support livestock prion disease research in cattle, sheep, goats, cervids, and camels. The work will be performed at Cyagen's laboratory facility in Ames, Iowa, with completion targeted for January 26, 2026. Under the contract, Cyagen will be responsible for all operational aspects of mouse model development, including equipment maintenance, safety protocols, and personnel oversight, with final delivery of the developed mouse models to the USDA at a designated location.
This solicitation was initially posted as a total small business set-aside on September 11, 2023; however, the award was made as a non-set-aside contract to Cyagen Biomodels LLC, a for-profit biotechnology company specializing in genetically engineered mouse model development. Cyagen brings relevant experience from prior federal contracts with agencies including the National Institutes of Health and the USDA, demonstrating expertise in gene-targeted mouse model creation through techniques such as conditional knockouts and gene targeting. The developed models will support critical USDA research into prion diseases affecting livestock, contributing to both disease understanding and animal health objectives.
