About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is seeking certification, maintenance, and repair services for Biological Safety Cabets (BSCs), HEPA filtered small animal isolators, and chemical fume hoods at the National Veterinary Services Laboratories in Ames, Iowa. This Request for Quote establishes an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) services contract requiring contractors to possess NSF accreditation and perform certifications according to NSF/ANSI Standard 49, NFPA 45, ANSI Z9.5, and ASHRAE 110 standards. The contractor must conduct 10 scheduled site visits annually with up to 10 additional emergency visits as needed, covering estimated annual quantities of 265 BSC certifications, 50 isolator certifications, and 60 fume hood certifications along with associated filter changes, repairs, and fumigations. The solicitation was posted on August 15, 2025, with responses due by August 27, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns only. The contract includes a ceiling price of $400,000 and spans a five-year performance period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030. Services will be performed at the USDA APHIS National Veterinary Services Laboratories facility located in Ames, Iowa. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget breakdowns beyond the overall contract ceiling. The substantial annual certification requirements across multiple specialized equipment types indicate a comprehensive laboratory safety equipment maintenance program supporting the government's veterinary research and diagnostic capabilities.
