The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services has awarded a $20 million single award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to the Livestock & Poultry Commission of Arkansas, a U.S. state government entity, with a period of performance from December 2021 through November 2026. This IDC allows APHIS to procure various animal laboratory testing services as needed, which have primarily consisted of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and foreign animal disease (FAD) testing in support of the agency's animal health regulatory programs.
Under this IDC, APHIS has issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders ranging from $15,000 to $45,000 for the Livestock & Poultry Commission to conduct HPAI and FAD testing in Arkansas and Iowa. As the state agency responsible for regulating Arkansas's livestock and poultry industries, the Commission leverages its expertise and laboratory facilities to assist APHIS in disease surveillance, monitoring, and rapid response capabilities. No set-aside designations have been applied to the IDC or its subsequent delivery orders.
