About International Identification, Inc.
International Identification, Inc., operating through its National Band & Tag Co Division, is a family-owned manufacturer of specialized identification products headquartered in Newport, Kentucky. The company has been a long-standing supplier of metal identification tags, bird bands, and related products to various federal agencies, primarily focusing on animal health, wildlife research, disease prevention, and population monitoring programs. Founded with a legacy of producing precise, scientifically standardized identification products, the company serves critical government missions across multiple civilian federal agencies.
Through its federal contract awards, International Identification, Inc. has consistently provided a diverse range of identification products to agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Smithsonian Institution, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The company's product offerings have included metal ear tags for livestock identification and vaccination programs, bird bands for wildlife research, steel flipper identification tags, condemned ear tags for food safety purposes, and specialized tags for animal tracking and monitoring. These contracts have ranged in value from a few hundred dollars to nearly $200,000, covering purchase orders and delivery orders across multiple federal agencies. None of the company's recent contract awards have utilized socioeconomic set-aside designations, indicating they compete on the basis of technical capabilities and pricing.
International Identification, Inc. holds three significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with federal agencies. These include a $450,000 IDIQ contract with the USGS for bird bands, a $6 million five-year contract with USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services for metal alphanumeric serial tags, and a $1.196 million IDC also with APHIS for metal identification and vaccination ear tags. These contracts are primarily total small business set-asides and have single-award structures. The IDVs support critical government functions by providing high-quality, precisely numbered identification products for wildlife research, animal health programs, and population monitoring initiatives. Task orders under these contracts have consistently demonstrated the company's ability to meet specific federal agency requirements for specialized identification products.
