The Tennessee Department of General Services, acting on behalf of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), is soliciting bids for the procurement of live, pure channel catfish under solicitation number 32801-13967. The solicitation, posted on July 30, 2026, with a response deadline of August 13, 2026, is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) targeting suppliers to deliver specified quantities of catfish—ranging from 1,000 to 7,000 pounds—to designated waterbodies across TWRA’s four regional areas, primarily for stocking purposes. Deliveries are to be made F.O.B. destination, meaning the vendor assumes all responsibility for freight, risk of loss, and delivery to locations determined by TWRA upon issuance of purchase orders, with a standard delivery window of 14 days and an absolute maximum of 30 days. The contract term is 12 months, extendable by up to 180 days, with performance operating on an as-required basis tied to authorized purchase orders. Contractors must comply with extensive state-specific legal, ethical, and operational requirements beyond federal procurement norms. Mandatory certifications include attestation that the vendor is not a foreign adversary company, not invested in Iran-divested entities, not participating in a boycott of Israel, and is not employing illegal immigrants, with ongoing obligations to secure similar attestations from subcontractors and retain personnel records. Vendors must be registered with the Tennessee Department of Revenue and the Edison Supplier Portal, and must affirmatively certify compliance with prohibitions on mandatory arbitration clauses and indemnification provisions in their contracts. All goods delivered become state property upon receipt, and contractors are prohibited from using state branding in marketing. Security and data confidentiality requirements include HIPAA compliance for any handling of protected health information, and all records must be maintained for five years post-final payment for audit purposes. Invoices must be submitted to the requesting agency and supported by proper documentation including W-9 and proof of insurance, with payment processed via ACH after execution of an authorization form. The contract does not rely on any Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses but is governed entirely by Tennessee state statutes and internal procurement policies. No evaluation factors, pricing figures, or award methodology are specified in the solicitation, indicating that award will be based on responsiveness and compliance, likely under a lowest-price technically acceptable (LPTA) framework.
