The $4,300,747.78 contract, which does not utilize any set-asides, has a period of performance through September 30, 2023.
As a state government agency, NCDA&CS leverages its agricultural expertise to deliver a range of services to federal agencies through prime contracts and grants. This includes laboratory testing and surveillance for animal diseases, agricultural inspections for food safety, and pest management programs. Under the FDA contract, NCDA&CS may receive task orders for services such as testing for avian influenza, classical/African swine fever, and foreign animal diseases to support the agency's animal health monitoring efforts.
