About the company
Leather & Hide Council Of America, doing business as Leather Research Laboratory, is a nonprofit organization based in Arlington, Virginia that receives federal grants as a prime recipient, focused on agricultural export market development and leather-goods research under cooperative agreements with the Department of Agriculture.
The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards are prime grants), with no federal contract work in the source data. Leather & Hide Council is a tax-exempt corporate entity that has served three distinct customer agencies: the Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service (which accounts for 100% of awards across its activity history), the Department of the Army, and the Department of the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command. The vendor's activity is sparse but persistent — one award in 2003, one in 2005, then a multi-year gap, followed by two awards in 2024 and one in 2026, for a combined total of five awards across the entire source history. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $17.7 million.
The vendor's recent work centers on the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (CFDA 10.618), a cost-share cooperative-agreement vehicle administered by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service to encourage development and expansion of U.S. agricultural export markets. Leather & Hide Council received a $1.650 million cooperative agreement on April 22, 2026 (award period through September 30, 2028) to conduct approved market development activities for U.S. agricultural commodities and products, with place of performance in Washington, DC. Two earlier awards under the same program were issued on December 30, 2024 (completion date September 30, 2030) and June 1, 2024, both carrying the same market-development mandate. The vendor's historical footprint also includes one award related to equipment and materials testing for textiles and leather (PSC: Equipment And Materials Testing— Textiles, Leather, Furs, Apparel And Shoe Findings) and an award classified under Defense Research and Development for textiles and clothing, suggesting prior work in leather-goods technical research for Army programs. One award (completion date within the next twenty-four months) faces recompete exposure in the near term.
