The USDA APHIS has awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Darling Ingredients Inc. to support ongoing bovine spongiform encephalopathy surveillance programs across the United States. Darling will provide sample collection and testing services for brain stem samples from cattle populations targeted by APHIS. Delivery orders issued against the IDV include $87,780 for BSE testing at Darling's Clinton, Iowa facility from October 2023 to October 2024, $220,000 for collection of 1,000 BSE samples at $220 each in Irving, Texas from July 2023 to July 2024, and $22,000 and $93,060 for unspecified BSE services in Irving, Texas spanning July 2023 to August 2027. The original presolicitation notice sought multiple five-year IDVs to vendors with nationwide cattle access to meet APHIS's requirement for geographically dispersed brain stem sample collection. No set-asides were used. The purpose of APHIS's ongoing BSE surveillance is to monitor animal health and minimize risks from animal diseases like bovine spongiform encephalopathy in accordance with the agency's regulatory responsibilities over programs addressing animal health issues. Darling will support these programs through responsible disposal and testing of samples at its facilities under the IDV and associated delivery orders valued at over $2.9 million.
