Diagnostic Assays for Foreign Animal Diseases

The contract pertains to the supply of validated diagnostic assays designed to detect high-consequence foreign animal diseases including Avian Influenza, Newcastle Disease, African Swine Fever, Classical Swine Fever, and Foot and Mouth Disease. These assays are essential for rapid and accurate identification of pathogens that pose significant threats to livestock health and agricultural security. The work is structured as a subcontract under the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, with all performance activities expected to support state and national animal health surveillance and response efforts. The solicitation was posted on June 24, 2026, and responses are due by July 17, 2026, providing a four-week window for qualified vendors to submit proposals. The NAICS code 325412 indicates that the work falls under the manufacturing of diagnostic substances, underscoring the need for assays that are not only scientifically robust but also produced at scale under regulated conditions. There is no specified set-aside classification, and no detailed point of contact or place of performance has been provided, suggesting the award may be awarded to a vendor capable of delivering nationwide support with logistics managed remotely. The procurement is accessible via the Florida Marketplace vendor portal for qualified suppliers seeking to participate.
