The United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, intends to award a sole-source contract to the Livestock Nutrition Center, LLC for cattle feed rations to support an ongoing research project. Located at the Oklahoma and Central Plains Agricultural Research Center in El Reno, Oklahoma, this requirement supports a tiered feeding program for steers. Because each tier’s nutritional acceptability depends on the preceding one to prevent acidosis and ensure research continuity, the total mixed ration must complement previous rations. This procurement is classified under NAICS 311119, Other Animal Food Manufacturing, and PSC 8710, FORAGE AND FEED, with a Small Business Administration (SBA) set-aside.
The scope of work requires the bulk delivery of specific cattle rations, including a low protein finisher and a high protein finisher, both containing roughage pellets. The low protein finisher must be composed of 9.45% crude protein, 10% roughage, and specific mineral levels including 15.25 ppm copper and 53.82 ppm zinc. The high protein finisher requires 13.62% crude protein, 10% roughage, and mineral concentrations including 15.76 ppm copper and 57.63 ppm zinc. Both rations must include 28 g/ton Rumensin and specific concentrations of vitamins A and E. The required roughage pellets must meet defined dry matter and nutritional standards, including 6.16% crude protein and 30.80% crude fiber.
