THOMAS D. MORRIS, INC.

Thomas D. Morris, Inc. specializes in the procurement, handling, and timely delivery of live animals for critical federal research and diagnostic training missions. The company’s core capabilities center on the precise sourcing and logistical management of swine, cattle, and other livestock to meet stringent biosecurity and physiological specifications for government laboratories, particularly those engaged in foreign animal disease research. Their technical expertise includes compliance with animal welfare standards, transport protocols for live specimens under controlled conditions, and adherence to USDA biosafety requirements for high-containment facilities such as Plum Island. A key differentiator is their consistent ability to deliver animals with exact weight ranges, gender specifications, and health certifications required for diagnostic training and pathogen exposure studies, ensuring experimental validity and regulatory compliance. The contractor maintains a sustained relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, providing essential biological materials for veterinary science and animal disease surveillance programs. Their work directly supports USDA’s mission to protect U.S. agricultural biosecurity through controlled exposure training for diagnostic personnel, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal animal research protocols and interagency coordination needs. Their industry focus lies primarily in live animal production under NAICS 112990 (All Other Animal Production), with significant activity in hog and bovine farming (112210 and 112111). This positions them as a niche supplier to government biomedical and agricultural research sectors, specializing in non-commodity livestock tailored for scientific use rather than commercial markets. Thomas D. Morris, Inc. operates as a small, family-owned business based in Reisterstown, Maryland, with no formal government certifications. Their geographic proximity to key federal research centers enables rapid response and reliable logistics for time-sensitive animal deliveries, reinforcing their role as a trusted, low-profile provider within the federal animal research supply chain.
