About the company
American Sheep Industry Association, Inc., doing business as American Wool Trust, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on livestock disease preparedness, scrapie eradication, and agricultural export market development. The organization represents more than 100,000 sheep producers across the United States through a federation of 45 state sheep associations and competes exclusively in full-and-open federal grant programs rather than through contract vehicles or set-asides.
The recipient's federal grant portfolio centers on two core capability areas. The first is livestock disease preparedness and eradication: the American Sheep Industry Association partners with the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) on scrapie eradication education, biosecurity outreach, and the Secure Sheep and Wool Supply (SSWS) contingency plan. Recent representative work includes a cooperative agreement awarded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, to educate sheep producers about scrapie identification and official animal ID use, generating outreach materials including webinars, factsheets, flyers, and social media content; a $600 thousand cooperative agreement dated July 1, 2024, running through December 31, 2026, to demonstrate electronic ID system implementation at livestock auction markets in Oregon to enhance animal disease traceability during foot-and-mouth disease outbreak simulations; and a cooperative agreement dated June 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025, to conduct train-the-trainer programs on FMD preparedness and SSWS plan deployment targeting sheep association leadership, extension professionals, and veterinarians. The second capability area is agricultural trade promotion: the Foreign Agricultural Service awards market development cooperative agreements under the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (CFDA 10.618) to encourage export market expansion for U.S. wool and sheep products, including a $600 thousand award granted April 22, 2026, through September 30, 2028, and an earlier market development award dated January 6, 2025, running through September 30, 2030.
Customer concentration is narrow and concentrated: 23 awards (68% of all awards) come from APHIS, with an additional three awards from the Foreign Agricultural Service; three awards appear in Army records and one each in Navy records, though these awards carry minimal dollar value. The combined potential value across all 34 awards totals $274 thousand, but the source reports $6.4 million in obligated dollars across the portfolio—indicating substantial drawdown against cooperative agreements with multi-year performance periods and cost-share structures typical of USDA grant programs. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete opportunity. The American Sheep Industry Association operates exclusively as a prime recipient with no subcontracting activity recorded in the source data. Performance occurs at the recipient's Greenwood Village, Colorado location with subordinate outreach and training activities conducted at state and regional sites nationwide, including Oregon livestock markets and Colorado feedlot and processing facilities.
