All Other Animal Production

NAICS Code 11299 (All Other Animal Production) encompasses a diverse range of animal breeding and production activities not classified in more specific categories. This classification includes specialized animal production for research, training, and other non-food purposes, such as breeding non-human primates, canines, and livestock for scientific, law enforcement, and governmental research purposes. The category covers the procurement, breeding, testing, and delivery of live animals to various federal agencies for specialized applications beyond traditional agricultural production.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a focus on supplying specialized animals for government research and training programs. Typical awards include firm-fixed-price purchase orders from agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Agriculture, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Veterans Affairs. Contract values range from small purchases of several thousand dollars for specific animal requirements to larger multi-year agreements. Many awards are set aside for small businesses, with a standard size threshold of $2.75 million. Frequent awardees include research institutions and specialized animal breeding facilities such as Jackson Laboratory, Thomas D. Morris, Inc., and Johns Hopkins University Research Animal Resources.

Recent federal contract opportunities under this NAICS code reveal a wide range of specific animal procurement requirements. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has sought untrained canines for training programs, the National Institutes of Health has requested non-human primates for medical research, and the Department of Agriculture has solicited livestock for disease diagnostician training. Performance locations are primarily distributed across research facilities and training centers in states like Maryland, New York, Virginia, and California. Most opportunities involve multi-phase evaluation processes that assess animal characteristics, vendor capabilities, past performance, and technical specifications before making awards.
