Option Year Fish Stocking (2028–2031)

The contract provides for the repeat stocking of fish under Option CLIN 00040, extending through 2031, and encompasses the full lifecycle of fish delivery including supply, transportation, and controlled release into designated waterways. Services are structured as a multi-year undertaking, allowing for continued execution annually without requiring new solicitations, contingent upon option exercise. The work is confined to the Pacific Northwest region and aligns with federal fisheries management objectives under the Department of the Interior’s Pacific Northwest Region. The North American Industry Classification System code 311711 identifies the scope as aquaculture and fish hatchery operations, indicating that the vendor is expected to maintain hatchery production capabilities and logistics networks to meet ongoing stocking demands. No set-aside provisions are specified, and the opportunity is classified as a subcontract, suggesting it supports a larger federal initiative. Responses are due by August 7, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 28, 2026, leaving a limited window for potential vendors to submit proposals. The performance location remains undetermined at the time of posting, but the operations are scoped to federal water bodies within the region managed by the Interior Department.
