Washington State University Awarded Delivery Order for Scrapie Diagnostic Testing

This delivery order contract is part of a larger indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreement awarded to Washington State University (WSU), a leading institution specializing in animal health laboratory testing. The current award focuses on providing diagnostic testing services specifically for scrapie, a contagious and fatal disease affecting sheep and goats. This contract is significant in supporting the National Animal Health Laboratory Network's efforts to control and monitor animal health threats, ensuring agricultural biosecurity and disease management. The scope of work includes conducting precise laboratory analysis and diagnostic tests for scrapie under the framework of the existing IDIQ contract originally awarded to WSU, which has a multi-million dollar ceiling and supports the U.S. Department of Agriculture's animal disease testing needs. This delivery order was awarded without competitive bidding as part of the option exercised within the parent contract, emphasizing WSU's unique expertise in this domain. The contract is set to be performed over a one-year period starting in the mid-2020s at the performance location in Ames, Iowa, underscoring ongoing federal commitment to animal health surveillance and diagnostic capabilities.
