NAICS 112990: All Other Animal Production

Illustrative Examples: Bird production (e.g., canaries, parakeets, parrots) Laboratory animal production (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs) Deer production Combination animal farming (except dairy, poultry) Companion animals production (e.g., cats, dogs) Worm production Llama production Cross-References.

NAICS 112990 – All Other Animal Production encompasses the breeding, raising, and management of animals not classified under more specific agricultural codes, including but not limited to elk, bison, deer, fur-bearing animals, bees, snails, and other non-traditional livestock. This sector supports niche biological supply chains critical to federal research, wildlife management, and conservation programs. Government contracts in this space often involve the provision of live animals for scientific studies, ecological restoration initiatives, and biological control applications, requiring specialized husbandry, biosecurity protocols, and compliance with USDA and USDA-APHIS regulations. While less visible than mainstream agricultural contracting, this niche supports mission-critical functions in federal laboratories, national parks, and environmental monitoring programs. No contractor data is available to identify leading firms in this sector, suggesting a fragmented market with limited public procurement activity or a predominance of small, regional operations that may not regularly compete for federal awards. Contractors in this space are typically specialized livestock producers, wildlife breeders, or biotech suppliers with expertise in captive breeding and animal health certification. No agency data is available to identify primary buyers, though demand likely originates from agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, and the National Institutes of Health, where live animal specimens are required for research, endangered species recovery, or invasive species control. The competitive landscape is characterized by low entry density and high operational specificity, with opportunities concentrated among firms possessing accredited animal care facilities, USDA licensing, and experience in federally regulated biological supply chains. Contracting activity appears sporadic and project-driven, offering niche advantages to small businesses with unique breeding capabilities or specialized ecological expertise.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 112990 work as a small business.

$2.75M
Applies to the whole industry code

The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.

13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
