About the company
The Connecticut Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricultural Development and Research Preservation Division, a U.S. state government entity headquartered in Hartford, acts as a federal grant recipient and federal contractor delivering animal and plant health regulatory programs, specialty crop development, food system infrastructure, and nutrition assistance administration to U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration agencies. The division operates as a prime recipient on 99 percent of its awards (183 of 184 recent federal transactions) and does not hold SBA certifications or compete under set-asides.
The division's recent federal portfolio reflects two primary capability streams. The first centers on animal health surveillance, disease prevention, and regulatory compliance: highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) polymerase chain reaction testing and poultry necropsy services, animal disease traceability through RFID tagging and database management in partnership with APHIS, and animal feed manufacturing facility inspection and risk-based regulatory program maintenance under FDA authority. A $450 thousand cooperative agreement from FDA (awarded September 20, 2025, through June 30, 2028) funds three-year maintenance of Connecticut's Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards, including inspections of feed manufacturing firms, online registration systems, and standardized sample collection. The second stream addresses agricultural market development and food access: specialty crop block grants totaling $427,716 (CFDA 10.170, awarded September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2028) for strawberry and sweet corn research and producer assistance; WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program formula grants ($118,799 awarded October 1, 2025) administering coupon distribution to eligible WIC participants for locally grown produce; and Local Food Purchase Assistance Program cooperative agreements funding sub-awards to food banks and nonprofits purchasing from socially disadvantaged Connecticut producers for underserved communities.
Customer concentration sits almost entirely within the Department of Agriculture ecosystem. USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (91 awards combined across what appears to be duplicate agency naming in the source), APHIS (47 awards), and Agricultural Marketing Service (27 awards) account for 92 percent of the division's recent award count, with FDA (5 awards) rounding out active federal relationships. The combined potential value across all 184 awards totals $293 thousand, though obligated dollars ($37.3 million) exceed that figure substantially, indicating the source's potential-value figures are incomplete or placeholder. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure.
Activity volume has ranged between 4 and 11 awards per year over the past five years, with recent years (2024–2026) trending toward lower counts. Representative grant work includes a $529,291 Organic Market Development Grant (CFDA 10.188, awarded January 30, 2024) partnering with University of Connecticut Extension and Connecticut Northeast Organic Farming Association to increase market access for 60 certified organic producers and 77 organic handlers; recurring APHIS cooperative agreements on animal disease traceability and avian influenza surveillance spanning 2022 through 2026; and a definitive contract from FDA ($109,577, awarded September 30, 2026) for animal feed Connecticut inspections running through August 19, 2031.
The division operates as a subsidiary of the Connecticut Secretary of State's Office, which holds the parent UEI. Federal work is performed in Hartford, Connecticut, with outreach and program administration extending across the state to farmers, producers, accredited veterinarians, livestock dealers, and program beneficiaries including backyard poultry stakeholders, 4-H participants, and WIC-eligible families. Teaming arrangements are minimal; the division acts as a direct recipient on nearly all awards rather than subcontracting to external vendors. One sub-award relationship appears in the portfolio: the division received a $293 thousand sub-grant from the Connecticut Department of Social Services (April 23, 2026) under a Rural Health Transformation Program project to administer competitive grants for non-traditional farming infrastructure and local food system investments targeting agricultural workers and rural food access.
