PSC Category 9430 encompasses miscellaneous crude animal products that are considered inedible, with a diverse range of biological and agricultural materials. The contract awards and opportunities primarily focus on animal-derived biological products, genetic materials, and specialized animal feed. These products serve various research, wildlife management, and agricultural purposes, involving specialized biological specimens and nutritional components for research and animal management programs.

Federal Contract Awards under this category predominantly feature delivery orders from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), particularly the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Typical awards range from $4,000 to $847,000, with most contracts being firm fixed-price delivery orders lasting 12-36 months. Frequently awarded entities include DNA Genetics LLC, Whole Hog Health Center, FAST Genetics, Whiteshire Hamroc LLC, and Fur Breeders Agricultural Cooperative. Most contracts are not set aside, indicating open market competition, and frequently involve maternal semen, animal blood products, ground meat for carnivore feeding, and animal feed supplements. Primary performance locations include Clay Center, Nebraska and various USDA research facilities.

The federal contract opportunities in this category, specifically represented by a USDA APHIS solicitation, seek a 5-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for supplying specialized animal food materials. The current opportunity is for freshly ground meat and food products designed for mink and carnivores, specifically targeting a coyote colony at the National Wildlife Research Center's Utah Field Station. The solicitation is set aside exclusively for small businesses in the Animal Food Manufacturing sector, with an anticipated contract period from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2030, and potential annual procurement volumes ranging from 6,000 to 80,000 pounds of specialized animal nutrition products.
