Update #2 · Latest ·

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Services ( APHIS),  Veterinary Services (VS) located in Fort Collins, CO is in the process of revising its approach to valuing livestock and poultry for purposes of indemnity as part of VS animal health programs. This process includes developing standards for independent third-party appraisals. These standards include who can be considered qualified to conduct such appraisals.

Scope of Services

The deliverable product will be an expanded nationwide list/directory of qualified appraisers for livestock and poultry appraisal.  The list will include contact information and state of residence of the qualified appraisers as well as species and states serviced by the appraiser.  The deliverable will be provided as an .xlsx and .pdf file.  Ongoing maintenance of the list is not included in this proposal.

This work needs to be done in close contact and cooperation with American Society of Farm Managers & Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) for the following reasons:

On June 25th, 2020, APHIS Veterinary Services contacted the Appraisal Foundation in Washington, DC to identify individuals that could assist the agency with livestock and poultry appraisal standards as well as with identifying qualified,  independent, private individuals on a national level who could conduct such livestock and poultry appraisals.

The Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation is responsible for the development of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) that were first adopted by the U.S. Congress in 1989. In addition, the Appraisal Qualification Board of the Appraisal Foundation has established voluntary Personal Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria.

The Appraisal Foundation identified ASFMRA as the most appropriate of their sponsoring organizations to deal specifically with livestock and poultry appraisal rather than general, non-farm and non-rural real estate and property appraisals. Livestock and poultry appraisal is a specialized field.

 Period of Performance

The services specified in the contract will begin at the time of the awarding of the contract and be completed by May 31st, 2023.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is    541611  Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services.   The Small Business Standard Size is $ 21.5 Mil.  The solicitation will be issued as a 100% Small Business  Set Aside.

The Government intends to provide the full package for solicitation number 12639523Q0019 and all amendments via this web site.  

The Federal Government is not responsible for notifications to interested parties regarding the issuance of  the solicitation nor any of its amendments.  It is the responsibility of interested parties to check this website periodically for updates.    Telephone and email requests will not be accepted

Anyone  interested in doing business  with the USDA must also first  be listed in the government’s System for Award Management  known as SAM.gov.  You may register on line with www.SAM.gov.     A prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from a formal solicitation.  

Interested persons may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the SAM database accessed through http://sam.gov  or by calling  1-866-606-8220
