About this forecast
The Department of Agriculture's National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) is seeking to procure scientific staff support services to facilitate the establishment of the Biologics Development Module (BDM) and enable the successful transfer of bio-repositories inventory. The requirement encompasses up to four scientific positions to address current staffing constraints and hiring limitations that are impeding the development of veterinary countermeasures, including vaccines and diagnostics, against foreign animal diseases. The solicitation is estimated to release on May 29, 2026, with an estimated award date of March 31, 2026.
The estimated award value ranges from $500,000 to $999,000, with a basic exercised value of $719,731 for this full and open competition purchase order. The services will be performed in Manhattan, Kansas, and the contract represents a new requirement to mitigate delays in countermeasures development that could otherwise leave U.S. farmers, ranchers, and livestock vulnerable to uncontrolled losses from foreign animal disease outbreaks. Interested parties should contact Nicole McKenzie, USDA Contracting Officer, at nicole.mckenzie@usda.gov for additional information regarding this opportunity.
Forecast text
The BDM develops new veterinary countermeasures including vaccines and diagnostics against foreign animal diseases. Without sufficient staff these countermeasures will be delayed and US farmers and ranchers and their livestock will be at increased risk of uncontrolled losses due to foreign animal disease outbreaks. The BDM requires the services of up to four scientific staff to facilitate the stand-up of the Biologics Development Module (BDM) and the successful transfer of bio-repositories inventory to the BDM due to lack of qualified staff and current hiring restraints.
