4B Livestock

4B Livestock is a woman-owned small business based in Madisonville, Texas, registered as a sole proprietorship that has been actively engaged in federal contracting since January 2011. The company specializes in providing livestock, agricultural supplies, and related services to the U.S. Department of Defense, with a particular focus on supporting military training, research, and operational readiness initiatives. 4B Livestock serves as a specialized supplier of caprine models, live tissue training models, and remotely piloted aircraft support services to various Army installations, establishing itself as a key vendor for the military's animal management and medical training programs.

Through its extensive history of federal contract awards, 4B Livestock has delivered caprine (goat) models and associated livestock services to support military training and research across multiple Army installations, particularly Fort Moore, Georgia, Camp Bullis, Texas, and Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The company has received numerous firm fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) calls from the Department of the Army and the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), with individual task orders typically valued between $7,000 and $30,000. The majority of these contract awards have been set aside for total small business participation, reflecting the company's status as a woman-owned small business. Beyond caprine models, 4B Livestock has provided live tissue training models and remotely piloted aircraft (RMAV/RPAS) support services to enhance the Army's instructional and operational capabilities. The company has also received contract awards from the Defense Health Agency for caprine model delivery. As a prime contractor, 4B Livestock operates without major subcontractors, maintaining direct responsibility for contract fulfillment. The firm has demonstrated sustained performance across dozens of task orders issued over multiple years, establishing a reliable track record with its federal customers.

4B Livestock holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) Blanket Purchase Agreements that provide streamlined procurement mechanisms for the Army to acquire specialized livestock and agricultural supplies. The primary IDV is a $2 million multiple-award BPA with the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) that runs through February 2028 and was awarded on March 1, 2023. This BPA vehicle enables the procurement of caprine models, live tissue training models, remotely piloted aircraft support, and other livestock-related products and services to support military training programs across various installations. Additionally, 4B Livestock maintains a single-award BPA valued at $808,282 with the Department of the Army, which focuses on acquiring caprine-related products and services, including goats, unmanned aircraft support, and medical training models. Both IDV vehicles have generated numerous task orders over the contract period, with agencies including the Department of the Army, TRADOC, and the Defense Health Agency issuing calls against these agreements. The structure of these BPAs allows the Army to rapidly and efficiently acquire 4B Livestock's specialized offerings without requiring new competitive procurements, making the company an integral part of the military's supply chain for animal-based training and research capabilities.
