Inguran LLC

Inguran LLC, doing business as Stgenetics, is a for-profit limited liability company registered to receive federal contract and grant awards. The company specializes in advanced reproductive technologies for livestock, particularly in the area of sexed semen and genetic improvement for cattle and swine. Through its subsidiaries, including Acufast LLC (doing business as FAST Genetics) and Fast-Sexing Technologies USA LLC, Inguran provides the U.S. government with specialized semen products and related services to support agricultural research and development.

Recent federal contract awards to Inguran's subsidiaries have primarily been for the provision of maternal semen and swine semen utilizing fast-sexing technology. These contracts have been awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) to support ongoing research efforts in livestock breeding identification and sex determination. The contracts are typically firm fixed-price delivery orders, with performance taking place at ARS facilities such as the one in Clay Center, Nebraska. No set-asides have been used for these awards, indicating open competition. The goods provided under these contracts are crucial for advancing research into techniques for rapidly identifying the sex of livestock offspring, which could significantly improve production efficiency for agricultural producers.

In terms of federal grant awards, Inguran LLC recently received a substantial Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) Project Grant from the USDA's Rural Business Cooperative Services. This $870,260 grant, awarded on August 23, 2023, is designated for renewable energy system improvements and energy efficiency upgrades. The two-year performance period ending August 23, 2025, allows Inguran to implement these improvements, aligning with the REAP program's goal of supporting agricultural producers and rural small businesses in reducing energy consumption and expanding the use of renewable energy in rural communities.

Inguran LLC, through its subsidiary FAST Genetics, holds an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contract with the USDA Agricultural Research Service. This IDV has a ceiling value of $118,300 and is used for the provision of maternal semen and related products to support ARS research efforts. The contract enables the ARS to place delivery orders as needed, providing flexibility in their research activities. Task orders under this IDV have been awarded by different ARS locations, including the Plains Area and Midwest Area offices, demonstrating the broad applicability of Inguran's products across various USDA research initiatives focused on livestock breeding and genetics.
