F--CA-FWS COLEMAN NAT-CARCASS REMOVAL

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Sacramento Rendering Co. for the urgent removal and disposal of salmon carcasses from the Coleman National Fish Hatchery. This action falls under NAICS code 311613 for Rendering and Meat Byproduct Processing and is being conducted via simplified acquisition procedures. The scope of work involves the removal of poor-quality salmon carcasses that are ineligible for donation and are instead intended for use as fertilizer. The performance period for these services is scheduled for the spawning season from October 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with work beginning upon receipt of the purchase order. While this is a notice of intent for a sole source award, other responsible sources may submit capability statements to demonstrate that competition would be advantageous to the government. All inquiries and submissions must be directed to the contracting specialist, Chelsea DeVivo, by August 26, 2026.
