About this forecast
The Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking a research contract to study the distribution, prevalence, and movement of foodborne pathogens in small specialty farms producing fresh produce. The project, identified as HFP Priority #430, aims to collect samples from diversified farms in the Ohio Plain Farmers community to identify and track foodborne pathogens during agricultural activities. The estimated solicitation release date is March 1, 2026, with an anticipated contract award date of May 1, 2026.
The contract falls under the NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and does not have a specific set-aside designation. The primary point of contact is Laquia Geathers (laquia.geathers@fda.hhs.gov) from the FDA, who will oversee the research initiative focused on understanding practices that could potentially reduce the likelihood of produce-related outbreak risks. While specific award values are not disclosed, the research appears to be a continuation of a previous study involving the Ohio State University (OSU) Consortium on Small Specialty Farming Produce.
