About this IDV
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service, Midwest Area, awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, a nonprofit research institute located in Olivette, Missouri, effective August 5, 2018, with a $100,000 ceiling value and ultimate completion date of September 25, 2019. This BPA vehicle provides the USDA with flexible, on-demand access to the Center's specialized plant science research capabilities and technical expertise without requiring lengthy procurement processes for each individual requirement. The agreement includes no small business set-aside designation, positioning the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center as the sole-source provider for these particular research support services. The contract is structured to enable the USDA to issue firm fixed price task orders (also referred to as BPA calls) for accessing the Center's state-of-the-art facilities, scientific equipment, and technical staff as needed to advance federal agricultural research initiatives.
Throughout the BPA's performance period, the USDA issued eleven task orders totaling approximately $50,000 in realized value, representing less than half of the available ceiling. These task orders, ranging from $1,042 to $16,498 per call, were issued between August 2018 and September 2019 for services including scientific equipment usage, laboratory services, bioinformatics support, and related technical expertise. Task orders referenced monthly invoices (identified as "Danforth [Month] Invoice" or "Bioinformatics"), with work performed primarily at the Center's Olivette, Missouri location and one instance in Columbia, Missouri. The deliverables supported USDA Agricultural Research Service research missions focused on plant biology, genomics, phenotyping, biotechnology, crop genetics, drought resilience, and agricultural data analytics. The BPA structure allowed the USDA to rapidly procure specialized plant science capabilities to address critical research priorities in food security, sustainable crop development, and climate-resilient agriculture without committing to full-time resource allocation.
