PSC Code AA15 encompasses agricultural research and development services, focusing on agricultural research facilities and major equipment. This category supports scientific exploration and technological advancement in agricultural domains, including genomic sequencing, laboratory research, specialized testing, and data collection. The services span diverse agricultural research initiatives, leveraging advanced technologies and specialized equipment to support federal agency scientific programs.

The federal contract awards under this PSC code demonstrate a range of research and technological support services, predominantly from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service and NASA. Contract values typically range from $7,800 to $256,702, with performance periods spanning six to twelve months. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses such as LC Sciences LLC, Agrichemical Technologies Inc., Technical Applications & Consulting LLC, and Native Resource Preservation LLC. The contracts involve services like laboratory technician support, lidar and image data collection, microscopic observations, specialized equipment procurement, and research facility support. Most awards use firm fixed-price pricing and do not employ small business set-asides, though some contracts are designated for total small business participation.

The contract awards reveal a consistent focus on agricultural and environmental research, including forest inventory analysis, wood science research, adhesive formulation, and specialized scientific equipment procurement. Performance locations include research stations in Madison, Wisconsin, Moscow, Idaho, and various NASA facilities. The contracts support critical research initiatives such as sustainable forestry, wood product innovation, lunar research prototyping, and scientific data collection methodologies. The diversity of projects underscores the broad applicability of agricultural research and development services across federal scientific and technological domains.
