ID-KOOSKIA NFH-FORMALIN STORAGE BLDG

The contract award is for the supply and delivery of one fully assembled outdoor chemical storage locker, specifically designed for formalin storage, to be installed at the Kooskia National Fish Hatchery in Idaho. The unit must meet stringent technical specifications including a 272-gallon leak-tight sump, 12-gauge galvannealed steel construction, UV and chemical-resistant paint, UL-classified locking door, natural draft ventilation, static grounding, and compliance with NFPA 30, FM Approval, OSHA secondary containment standards, EPA regulations, and ASTM, AISI, and AWS manufacturing standards. Delivery is due no later than December 1, 2026, under FOB Destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all costs and risks until the unit is delivered and accepted at the hatchery’s location. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price award under FAR Part 12 using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method, where technical acceptability is determined before price, and the technical capabilities and past performance of the offeror are deemed significantly more important than cost. The solicitation requires a three-part proposal with technical, past performance, and pricing volumes, and mandates identification of key personnel, with no page limits specified but full responsiveness required. The contractor must comply with extensive federal regulatory and compliance clauses, including provisions on whistleblower rights, contractor ethics, prohibition of restrictive internal confidentiality agreements, restrictions on subcontractor sales to the government, personal identity verification for facility access, and specific DEI anti-discrimination requirements under deviation clauses issued in March 2026. Payment will be processed electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with no use of WAWF, and all invoices must be submitted through the IPP portal. The contracting officer technical representative is Kurt McCorkle, with Richard Marshall serving as the primary point of contact for submissions. Only small business entities are eligible to respond, as the NAICS code 493190 is set aside in full for small business participation, and all offerors must maintain an active SAM registration with a valid UEI. The contract includes optional features such as pre-wired electrical systems, insulation, lighting, and explosion relief panels, though pricing for these options is not specified and will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance. No packaging, preservation, or marking details beyond general compliance with carrier or contract specifications are provided, and the government will provide no assistance during installation. The contract’s estimated value ranges from $0 to $36.5 million
