Supply of Compounded Wildlife Immobilization Drugs (Thiafentanil & Etorphine)

The contract seeks the procurement and delivery of two highly potent opioid formulations—Thiafentanil 10 mg/mL and Etorphine 10 mg/mL—specifically for use in helicopter-based wildlife capture operations targeting large animals. These substances are critical for immobilizing wildlife safely and effectively during conservation, relocation, or research efforts, requiring precise dosing and secure handling due to their extreme potency and regulatory sensitivity. The contract is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 325412, indicating it relates to pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing, and is issued by the state of Utah with a response deadline of June 24, 2026. The procurement is intended to support state-led wildlife management initiatives, though no specific place of performance or point of contact is listed, suggesting the logistics and deployment will be coordinated directly with state wildlife and operations teams. Suppliers must meet stringent quality, safety, and compliance standards to ensure these controlled substances are manufactured, packaged, and transported in accordance with federal and state regulations for wildlife pharmaceuticals.
