The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services program awarded a single-award, 5-year indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Southern Tier Hide & Tallow, Inc. (doing business as Southern Tier Transportation) for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) sample collection services. The $962,550 ceiling value contract, with an ultimate completion date of December 19, 2027, supports APHIS' nationwide BSE surveillance program mandated under the Animal Health Protection Act. The original pre-solicitation notice sought multiple vendors to access dispersed cattle populations and collect brain stem samples to meet APHIS' regulatory sampling needs, with minimum $300 orders and a $4 million maximum per order. Two firm fixed price delivery orders totaling $576,450 have been issued to date, funding Southern Tier Transportation's BSE surveillance efforts in the Southern Tier region of New York through October 2024. The indefinite delivery contract vehicle allows APHIS to issue additional task orders as needed to support its ongoing BSE monitoring requirements across the United States.
