About Kennebec River Biosciences, Inc.
Kennebec River Biosciences, Inc. is a for-profit corporate entity located in Richmond, Maine, specializing in aquatic animal health testing and laboratory services. Registered in SAM.gov since 2003, the company is structured as a Subchapter S Corporation and operates as a manufacturer of goods with a focus on advanced diagnostic testing for aquatic species. The company provides specialized laboratory services to federal agencies, primarily concentrating on fish health testing, viral detection, and diagnostic procedures related to aquatic animal diseases, with a particular emphasis on infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) testing.
Through federal contract awards, Kennebec River Biosciences has consistently provided sophisticated scientific testing services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), specifically the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and Northeast Area. The company's contract work involves comprehensive fish health testing services, including Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR and rRT-PCR), Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test (IFAT), Virus Isolation, and sequencing services. Most of these contracts have been firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders, with contract values ranging from approximately $12,000 to $177,000. Some contracts have been designated as total small business set-asides, while others have not, demonstrating the company's flexibility in meeting federal procurement requirements.
Kennebec River Biosciences has received federal grant awards specifically from USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, focusing on aquatic animal health research and development. The company has been awarded cooperative agreements aimed at studying and protecting agricultural health, particularly in the context of minimizing major diseases and pests in aquatic environments. Notable grant projects have included a study to culture non-pathogenic strains of infectious salmon anemia virus, directly aligning with USDA's goal of ensuring safe and nutritious food production by protecting agricultural health through disease management.
The company holds a significant Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with USDA APHIS, valued at $300,000 and designated as a total small business set-aside, with a performance period through April 2026. This single-award IDC specifically covers Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus (ISAV) testing and allows APHIS to access Kennebec River Biosciences' specialized laboratory capabilities on an as-needed basis. Under this contract, the company has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for conducting advanced diagnostic services, including various polymerase chain reaction techniques, antibody testing, and virus isolation services, all focused on supporting APHIS's efforts to monitor and mitigate viral diseases impacting salmon aquaculture.
