About this opportunity
The USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) intends to award a sole source contract for the acquisition of Holstein or Holstein Cross-bred Milking Dairy Cows. The requirement is for the cows to be used in research on the susceptibility of cattle to highly pathogenic avian influenza A viruses (HPAI). The contract will be awarded under the simplified acquisition threshold, with a NAICS code of 112120 (Dairy Cattle and Milk Production) and a PSC code of 8820 (Live Animals, Not Raised For Food). A detailed Statement of Work outlines the technical specifications for the cows, including breed, age, disposition, health conditions, and delivery requirements. This is a pre-solicitation notice, and interested parties may identify their capability to respond by July 8, 2024, but no competitive solicitation will be issued.
The contract will be awarded sole source to Iowa State University, as they are the only known source that can meet the specific requirements. The estimated dollar value is not provided, but the government intends to acquire 8 cows for delivery to the USDA facility in Ames, Iowa by July 18, 2024. There is no set-aside designation for this procurement, and no other incumbent contractors are named.
