Fur-Bearing Animal and Rabbit Production

NAICS 112930 (Fur-Bearing Animal and Rabbit Production) encompasses the procurement and supply of laboratory animals for biomedical research purposes. While the classification suggests fur-bearing animal production, the federal contract awards primarily focus on the breeding and distribution of various non-human primates and rodents for scientific research. These animals are critical for medical research, including studies related to infectious diseases, chemical threats, and medical countermeasure development across multiple federal agencies.

The federal contract awards demonstrate a consistent pattern of procurement for laboratory animals, primarily macaques and rats, with contract values ranging from $549 to $394,600. Key contractors include World Wide Primates Inc., Charles River Laboratories, and DSP Research Services LLC, with primary funding agencies being the Department of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health. All contracts examined were firm fixed-price delivery orders or purchase orders, with no set-aside designations. Performance locations are predominantly in the United States, with specific mentions of facilities in Massachusetts, Florida, and research institutions like the University of Washington.

No specific federal contract opportunities were included in the provided documentation. The summary is based exclusively on the federal contract awards, which reveal a robust market for laboratory animal procurement supporting biomedical and medical research across various federal agencies.
