56--UT JONES HOLE NFH-PIPING MATERIALS

The contract, identified by solicitation number 140FS226Q0090, is a firm-fixed-price award issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s SAT Team 2 under the Department of the Interior for the procurement of piping materials to construct a spring enclosure at Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery in Vernal, Utah. The work requires delivery of 4,300 linear feet of 6-inch SDR35 perforated pipe, 120 linear feet of 6-inch DWV pipe, assorted fittings including double sanitation tees and 45-degree elbows, 500 square yards of non-woven geotextile, and two options of galvanized corrugated steel pipe hardware with associated fittings—all to be delivered by May 29, 2026. The contract is fully set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 221310, and pricing details are not disclosed in the solicitation, though all items must meet commercial standards and be merchantable and fit for their designated purpose. Delivery is FOB destination, with inspection and acceptance performed at the hatchery site by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel. Contract administration requires electronic invoicing through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with payments governed by the Prompt Payment Act and applicable federal regulations. The contracting officer, Jeremy Riva, and technical coordinator Sean Henderson serve as the primary points of contact, with oversight guided by standard FAR clauses including 52.212-1, 52.212-3, 52.212-4, and 52.212-5, which establish instructions to offerors, representations and certifications, and contract terms. Offerors must maintain current SAM registration including a Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, and certify compliance with Buy American provisions and socioeconomic requirements. Evaluation for award prioritizes technical conformance over schedule and price, applied under a best value tradeoff approach rather than LPTA, with no formal weightings or risk ratings assigned. Packaging and marking must comply with SF-1449 requirements using FOB destination notation, DPAS rating, and facility and account identifiers, though no MIL-STD or detailed preservation specifications are mandated. All materials must align with EPA SNAP and USDA BioPreferred® sustainability guidelines, and quality assurance is governed by government inspection at the point of delivery without reference to external industry standards like ASTM or ANSI.
