The Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) awarded a $250,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract to Communications Professionals Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, for the delivery of Abraxis test kits. The contract, which runs through March 2028, supports FSIS food safety analytical testing programs that enable rapid pathogen detection in commercial meat, poultry, and egg products to ensure food safety. Under this IDC, FSIS has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to Communications Professionals Inc. valued between $21,000 and $97,000 for the provision of Abraxis test kits to FSIS laboratories nationwide. The company also leverages its position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule to compete for and fulfill delivery orders across federal agencies for a wide range of information technology products and services. The original solicitation, a Request for Quote (RFQ), sought proposals for the supply of Abraxis test kits to support FSIS food safety testing programs. The RFQ was not set aside for any socioeconomic category. Award was anticipated in December 2022, and the selected contractor is responsible for providing the test kits per the statement of work and contract terms and conditions. The RFQ aimed to establish a contract vehicle to enable FSIS to rapidly acquire these critical food safety analytical testing supplies as needed.
