Kerr Richard A

Kerr Richard A, doing business as Kerr Consulting, is a veteran-owned small business registered to receive federal government contracts since April 11, 2018. As a sole proprietorship, Kerr Consulting specializes in providing expert consulting services related to animal care and use in biomedical research settings. The company's primary focus appears to be offering support services for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) at federal research institutions, particularly within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Kerr Consulting's expertise likely encompasses federal, state, and biomedical research animal care and usage laws, policies, and regulations.

Kerr Consulting has been awarded multiple federal contracts by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), both part of the NIH. These contracts have consistently involved providing IACUC support services, including attending monthly IACUC meetings, participating in semi-annual facility inspections, and offering recommendations on animal care and usage regulations. The most recent contract, awarded on June 15, 2024, is a $32,400 firm fixed-price purchase order for a non-affiliated consultant to serve on the IACUC, as required by the Public Health Service (PHS) Animal Welfare Policy. Previous contracts in 2022 and 2020, each valued at $21,600, also focused on IACUC meeting contractor support. These contracts have been awarded as both total small business set-asides and without set-asides, demonstrating Kerr Consulting's ability to compete in various contracting environments within its specialized niche.
