The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) has awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $118,300 to Acufast LLC, doing business as FAST Genetics, a subsidiary of Inguran LLC (Stgenetics). The contract, with a period of performance through February 2026, is for the provision of maternal semen and swine semen utilizing fast-sexing technology to support the agency's ongoing research into livestock breeding identification and sex determination.
Under this IDC, USDA ARS has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to FAST Genetics, ranging from $7,280 to $23,660, for the supply of maternal semen to the agency's research facility in Clay Center, Nebraska. These task orders, which do not utilize any set-aside designations, enable FAST Genetics to consistently provide the necessary materials to advance USDA ARS's work in improving agricultural production efficiency through advanced reproductive technologies. The contracted semen products contribute to the agency's research efforts aimed at rapidly identifying the sex of livestock offspring, which could significantly benefit agricultural producers.
