About Colorado State University
Colorado State University's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Division, doing business as Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, provides specialized animal disease diagnostic testing and surveillance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) under single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts, with no socioeconomic set-asides. The laboratory is a division of Colorado State University, a 1862 Land Grant institution and state government entity headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The laboratory's customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Agriculture, which accounts for 97 awards (73% of awards, $48.1 million combined potential value) across three APHIS operating units. The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services division leads with 55 awards valued at $24.4 million, followed closely by APHIS Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services with 34 awards valued at $23.7 million. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 represents the only non-USDA customer in the top tier, with 24 awards carrying $683 thousand combined potential value. This concentration reflects the laboratory's positioning as a critical federal provider within the National Animal Health Laboratory Network. Recent representative work includes a $54,390 delivery order from APHIS Veterinary Services for BSE sample testing under the parent $20 million indefinite delivery contract (awarded September 21, 2021, extending through August 31, 2026); a $300,000 delivery order for HPAI testing issued January 1, 2026; a $90,000 delivery order for scrapie testing issued March 18, 2026; and a $50,400 delivery order for BSE testing performed at facilities in Ames, Iowa, awarded December 31, 2025.
The laboratory holds a dominant seat on the $20 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract 12639521D0078 with USDA APHIS Veterinary Services, under which 48 task orders have been placed carrying $5.3 million in combined potential value. A second significant parent vehicle, the APHIS Animal Lab Testing 2016–2021 contract, anchors 32 task orders valued at $2.3 million. Three blanket purchase agreements round out the portfolio: INF12PA00105 (18 task orders, $25 thousand combined potential value), AG6395B140026 (13 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value), and AG6395B080048 (2 task orders). Delivery orders under these vehicles are firm fixed-price awards with no set-asides, issued on a competitive basis reflecting the laboratory's demonstrated technical standing.
Capability work centers on animal disease surveillance and diagnostic testing spanning highly pathogenic avian influenza surveillance, bovine spongiform encephalopathy testing, scrapie diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance and susceptibility testing, whole-genome sequencing analysis, SARS-CoV-2 testing in wild canids and mesocarnivores, and chronic wasting disease ELISA and immunohistochemistry testing in wild cervids. Work is performed at laboratory facilities in Fort Collins, Colorado and Ames, Iowa. Recent activity has remained relatively flat — 13 awards in 2022, declining to 8 awards in 2026 year-to-date — with a modest recompete cliff of 12 awards (combined potential value $1.4 million) completing within the next twenty-four months. The laboratory also serves as a sub-awardee under a $301,030 Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration Project Grant (awarded July 25, 2022) supporting a broadband feasibility study for rural Colorado, and holds one subcontract under American Type Culture Collection for production of mycobacteria materials under the Biological and Emerging Infections Research Resources Program (awarded November 1, 2023). The laboratory's federal portfolio is categorized primarily under NAICS 541940 (Veterinary Services) across 134 awards and PSC Support–Professional: Veterinary/Animal Care (83 awards) and Reference Laboratory Testing (52 awards).
