The firm demonstrates deep familiarity with animal health protocols, quarantine readiness, and the handling of livestock for laboratory use, distinguishing itself through precision in animal selection and reliable delivery under stringent research requirements. The company maintains an exclusive relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, supplying livestock for scientific initiatives focused on brucellosis, tuberculosis, and other zoonotic disease research. All recent awards stem from USDA programs requiring controlled animal sources for controlled trials, indicating a trusted, recurring partnership built on consistent compliance and operational reliability. The contractor’s work supports critical agricultural biosafety and veterinary science objectives, positioning them as a specialized vendor for live animal procurement in federally funded research. Their primary industry focus lies in dairy cattle and milk production (NAICS 112120) and beef cattle ranching (NAICS 112111), with secondary activity in other animal production (NAICS 112990). They serve a niche vertical within agricultural bioresearch, supplying genetically and age-controlled livestock for immunological and pathogen studies. This specialization aligns them with USDA’s mission to advance livestock health and food safety through controlled scientific inquiry. Superior Livestock, Inc. is a small, locally based entity headquartered in Joice, Iowa, operating under a 2L entity structure with no federal certifications. Their geographic proximity to key USDA research centers in Iowa enables rapid response and logistical efficiency, reinforcing their role as a dependable regional provider for federal animal procurement needs.
