Purchase Order AG32SCP150092

Alternative Design Manufacturing and Supply, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, was awarded a $35,774.64 firm fixed-price purchase order by a civilian federal agency's Northeast Area on March 27, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of May 12, 2015. This contract utilized no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of the vendor's specialized work in designing and fabricating animal housing and research equipment for federal agencies.

The award to Alternative Design Manufacturing and Supply reflects the company's established expertise serving the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service across multiple regional areas. The vendor specializes in manufacturing sophisticated research infrastructure, including poultry isolators, waterfowl isolators, bird housing cages, and stainless steel isolation cabinets designed to meet precise technical specifications for critical agricultural and animal research initiatives at facilities such as the USDA ARS National Poultry Research Center and the Animal Biosciences & Biotechnology Laboratory. The firm fixed-price structure and relatively modest contract ceiling value are consistent with the vendor's typical purchase order awards that support ongoing research operations across multiple federal research installations.
