The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Laboratory Animal Research Support (LARC IV) is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract vehicle designed to provide comprehensive laboratory animal research support services across NIH facilities. The contract supports critical biomedical research by delivering a wide range of technical and logistical services essential to animal-based scientific studies. Services include animal housing and care, veterinary medicine, facility maintenance, sanitation, data management, research assistance, and technical support for laboratory animal programs at various NIH institutes and centers.

Task orders under this IDIQ typically range from $250,000 to $4.2 million, with periods of performance spanning six to twelve months. The primary prime contractors are JS Technology, Inc. (a veteran-owned small business), Priority One Services, Inc. (a minority-owned small business), and Fefa, LLC (a HUBZone certified small business). Most task orders are awarded by the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations and are predominantly located in Bethesda, Maryland, with some work in nearby Alexandria, Virginia. The contract vehicle utilizes both time-and-materials and firm-fixed-price pricing structures, with many task orders having partial small business set-aside designations. Funding supports research programs across multiple NIH institutes, including the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Eye Institute, and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
