About this opportunity
The USDA Agricultural Research Service is issuing a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source for laboratory nutritional analysis services with a response deadline of September 11, 2026. The ARS requires comprehensive nutritional testing to support two research initiatives: analysis of enhanced Mediterranean fruit fly diet samples and fruit fly insect samples for parameters including proximate composition, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, and sugars; and characterization of mono-floral honey samples collected from major honey-producing floral sources in Hawaii. The analytical results will evaluate nutritional quality, enable comparative analysis across sample types, and inform research in insect rearing optimization, endangered bird nutrition, and Hawaii honey profiling. Work falls under NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and PSC Q301 (Reference Laboratory Testing).
