The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service seeks premixed cattle feed products under an IDIQ firm-fixed-price requirements contract, with quotations due May 22, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. CDT and questions due May 1, 2026. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside (NAICS 311119, size standard 650 employees), foreclosing competition outside that pool.
Place of performance is Ames, Iowa (USDA National Animal Disease Center, 1920 Dayton Avenue, Building 13). The contract runs from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027 and requires delivery of two products: Cow Lactation Premix (125 tons estimated) and Dry Cattle Premix (30 tons estimated), both in bulk without bags. Typical orders are 10 tons Cow Lactation Premix and 5 tons Dry Cattle Premix, with variations not exceeding approximately 2 tons.
Feed formulations are strictly specified with no substitutions permitted without USDA approval. Feeds must exclude antibiotics, hormones, chemical growth promotants, animal products or by-products, and bactericides or coccidiostats. The Dairy Trace Mineral component must include zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, selenium 0.3%, copper chloride, iodine 9.2%, and cobalt carbonate. Equivalent ingredient concentrations are permitted if they do not constitute significant changes to the required ration formulation and receive approval from the government's contracted Dairy Nutritionist.
Deliveries must occur within four working days of order, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. local time, in clean enclosed vehicles with certified weight tickets. If the mill previously processed prohibited materials, it must be flushed with two tons of clean feed at contractor expense. F.O.B. Destination applies unless F.O.B. Origin is specified with shipping costs included. Award is made to the offeror representing best value based on technical approach, price, and past performance. Offerors must submit pricing for all line items and hold prices firm for 90 calendar days.
