V--WA-COLUMBIA RIVER-TRAILER TRANSPORTATION

This contract establishes a 10-year Blanket Purchase Agreement under the Solicitation Number 140FS126Q0081 for trailer transportation services to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service across multiple fish hatcheries in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, with performance beginning May 1, 2026, and extending through April 30, 2036. The procurement is structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 924120 with a 500-employee size standard, mandating strict compliance with small business subcontracting limitations, nonmanufacturer rules, and postaward representation requirements. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses focused on supply chain security, ethics, and labor compliance, including prohibitions on the use of telecommunications equipment from covered foreign entities such as Huawei, ZTE, Kaspersky Lab, and ByteDance, as well as adherence to the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act. Contractors must conduct ongoing due diligence to identify and report any covered equipment or services, submitting detailed disclosures within one business day of discovery and a comprehensive follow-up report within 10 business days. While no pricing or contract value is specified due to the IDIQ structure and absence of filled CLINs, the award will be made using a trade-off method, evaluating technical capability and past performance as equally important as price, without employing a lowest-price technically acceptable approach. The prime contractor is responsible for all aspects of performance, including compliance with labor standards, equal opportunity, combating trafficking in persons, payment of minimum wages per Executive Order 14026, and prompt payment to small business subcontractors. Deliveries occur at designated federal hatcheries, with acceptance determined on a per-call basis, and the contractor must ensure proper labeling of biobased products and include their CAGE code on all documentation. The contracting office is located in Falls Church, Virginia, with the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative based in Washington State and an administrative coordinator serving as the primary point of contact. All submissions must be made via SAM.gov by the April 17, 2026 deadline, and offerors must possess an active UEI and meet full socioeconomic representation requirements.
