About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) Plains Area awarded a purchase order to Gillespie Livestock Company Inc. on May 30, 2023, for the procurement of nine research cattle. The contract, valued at $8,880.75 with a firm fixed price structure, specifies delivery of female Hereford cattle weighing between 300–450 pounds and aged 6–24 months, to be delivered to Fredericksburg, Texas by June 30, 2023. The requirement for a single-sex group reflects the contractor's understanding that gender-related physiological differences may impact research outcomes. This purchase order was not designated as a set-aside contract.
Gillespie Livestock Company Inc., a small business based in Fredericksburg, Texas, has established a consistent track record supplying specialized research cattle to the USDA ARS. The contractor's expertise aligns with federal agricultural research objectives, including cattle fever tick studies, fly colony maintenance, essential oils research, and dust bag effectiveness testing conducted at facilities in the Texas region. The company currently operates under a larger Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle—a Multiple Award Task Order Contract valued at $975,000 and designated as a total small business set-aside—which allows the USDA ARS to issue periodic task orders for research cattle procurement through July 31, 2029.
