Low Head Oxygenator (LHO) System Design & Fabrication

The contract seeks the design, engineering, and fabrication of 24 custom Low Head Oxygenator units specifically tailored for use in fish hatchery raceways with variable flow conditions. The units must deliver precise oxygenation while maintaining optimal hydraulic performance and minimizing stress on fish, requiring advanced engineering to ensure compatibility with existing water flow dynamics. Each unit must undergo rigorous performance modeling and comprehensive factory testing to validate efficiency, reliability, and functionality under real-world operating conditions before delivery. All 24 units must be constructed to exact specifications ensuring consistency in performance across the entire system, with design choices prioritizing durability, ease of maintenance, and seamless integration into hatchery infrastructure. The project is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 333911, with a response deadline of June 23, 2026, and is posted by the State of Utah for performance within its jurisdiction, though specific location details are not provided. The initiative underscores a need for innovation in aquatic husbandry technology, demanding a contractor with proven expertise in fluid dynamics, biological system support, and precision manufacturing for sensitive environmental applications.
