TACONIC BIOSCIENCES, INC.

Taconic Biosciences, Inc. specializes in the breeding, maintenance, and genetic modification of specialized laboratory rodents for biomedical research, with deep expertise in pathogen-free murine facilities and conditional knockout/transgenic mouse model development. The company delivers genetically engineered mouse models—including floxed, knockin, and knockout strains—critical for studying rare diseases such as propionic acidemia and metabolic disorders. Their technical capabilities encompass barrier-reared animal production, precision genetic engineering, and high-containment animal facility operations, ensuring compliance with stringent biosafety and animal welfare standards. A key differentiator is their ability to produce complex, phenotype-validated models tailored to NIDDK, NIEHS, and other NIH institute research pipelines, supporting preclinical studies in immunology, neuroscience, and metabolic disease. The contractor maintains a sustained relationship with the Department of Health and Human Services, primarily supporting NIH components through the procurement and customization of genetically defined mouse models for ongoing biomedical investigations. They also provide animal production services to the Department of Veterans Affairs, demonstrating consistent alignment with federal health research priorities. Their work is exclusively tied to research-driven agencies focused on translational science and disease modeling. Their primary NAICS classification under all other animal production reflects their core function: the controlled breeding and supply of research-grade rodents, including mice, rats, and hamsters, under pathogen-free conditions. Secondary work in professional scientific services and testing laboratories underscores their role in supporting experimental design through customized animal model generation and associated biological services. Taconic Biosciences, Inc. operates as a small business entity based in Germantown, New York, with no federal certifications on record. The company is positioned as a niche supplier to the U.S. biomedical research community, delivering genetically precise animal models essential for federal-funded science. Their geographic footprint and operational focus serve the needs of federal laboratories requiring reliable, reproducible, and ethically maintained research animals.
