54--Provide and Install Dome Covers for Circular Fish Pools at the White River National Fish Hatchery, Bethel, VT

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to award a sole source contract to HWP, LLC (Hansen Weatherport) for the removal and replacement of existing 31-foot circular fish pool dome covers at the White River National Fish Hatchery in Bethel, Vermont. The unique steel structure configuration and attachment method require the use of Hansen Weatherport covers, making it impractical to use products from other manufacturers. Market research has confirmed that replacing the current framework and covers with another supplier’s products is not feasible, and warranties from alternative manufacturers would be invalid if applied to the existing framework. The procurement includes providing and installing dome covers specifically designed for these circular fish pools to ensure proper fit and function. Interested parties with questions regarding this contract are directed to submit inquiries in writing to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Hadley, Massachusetts office, with Christopher Murphy as the contact person. The solicitation is managed by the FWS Headquarters, a division within the Department of the Interior, headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia.
