Solicitation # W9127N27Q1CTI

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District intends to award a sole source contract to the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation for the acclimation and release of Upriver Bright fall Chinook juveniles. The scope of work includes the annual acclimation and release of up to 1.1 million sub-yearling juveniles from Little White Salmon Hatchery and 210 thousand yearling juveniles from Bonneville Hatchery at the Prosser Hatchery.
