PSC Category H288 covers Equipment and Materials Testing for Live Animals, encompassing procurement of specialized live animal specimens and related testing equipment for scientific research, medical studies, and experimental purposes. This category includes a wide range of live animal acquisition and testing supplies, with a focus on laboratory and research applications across various federal agencies. The code supports critical research initiatives involving animal subjects for scientific evaluation, disease prevention, and immunization studies.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly feature the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the primary contracting agency, with Triple F Farms, LLC emerging as a key contractor. These awards typically involve firm fixed price delivery orders ranging from approximately $57,000 to $87,000, with contract durations spanning several months to a year. The awards are consistently not set aside, indicating open market competition. The most frequent type of product appears to be specialized research animals, particularly ferrets used for immunization and respiratory disease research, with contracts supporting the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases program.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities under this PSC category include solicitations from the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) Office and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These opportunities involve procurements for specialized animal-related equipment, such as K9 unit supplies for Colombia and two-tier turkey caging for agricultural research. The opportunities are primarily unrestricted, with some designated as small business set-asides, and involve detailed technical requirements for animal testing and research equipment. Performance locations include Bogota, Colombia, and Beltsville, Maryland, with evaluation methodologies typically using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria.
