The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotes for the procurement of a highly efficient and accurate Quick Egg Sorter machine for the Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery located in Cook, Washington. This firm-fixed-price acquisition, conducted under FAR Parts 12 and 13 for commercial items, seeks a machine featuring a conical drum capable of handling variable-sized eggs with a minimum counting capacity of 1 million eggs per hour. Technical acceptability requires a sorting error rate of less than 1 percent and a counting error rate of less than 0.5 percent, with a specific requirement that live eggs be removed using water rather than air jets. The solicitation, number 140FS126Q0010, was originally issued on December 15, 2025, and subsequently modified by Amendment 0001 to open the competition to all businesses. The updated period of performance is from February 17, 2026, through June 15, 2026, with delivery and inspection occurring at the hatchery destination. Award will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable offer. Contractors are required to utilize the Department of the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform for electronic invoicing and must comply with various federal sustainability and domestic sourcing standards, including the Buy American Act and biobased product certifications.
