PSC Category H388, designated for Inspection of Live Animals, encompasses a diverse range of services involving animal inspection, detection, transportation, and specialized scientific research. The category covers activities such as detection dog services for invasive species, wildlife disease surveillance, animal health research, veterinary services, and animal transportation. These services span multiple federal agencies and involve various types of animals, including horses, burros, rattlesnakes, and conservation-focused detection canines.

Federal Contract Awards under this PSC category demonstrate a variety of animal-related services, with contract values ranging from $8,535 to $643,600 and performance periods typically spanning one to five years. Key agencies awarding contracts include the Department of the Interior (National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management), Department of Agriculture, and Department of the Army. Frequently awarded entities include specialized service providers like Working Dogs For Conservation Foundation, Covenant K9 Detection Services, Stephey Livestock Inc., and Midwest Veterinary Services. Most contracts are firm fixed-price purchase orders or blanket purchase agreements, with no specific small business set-aside designations. Performance locations include national recreation areas in Texas, research facilities, and military installations.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities reflect the category's diverse scope, including a pre-solicitation for renovating an Animal Health Science Reference Laboratory in Mozambique and a solicitation for an Explosive Detection Canine Team at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. These opportunities highlight complex requirements involving design-build construction, canine management, protection services, and specialized scientific research. The opportunities demonstrate sophisticated procurement needs that extend beyond simple animal inspection, requiring advanced technical capabilities, specific certifications, and comprehensive service delivery across multiple government facilities.
