The US Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a contractor to replace the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) pump at Infiltration Gallery #2 at the Winthrop National Fish Hatchery in Winthrop, WA, under a Firm-Fixed-Price construction contract with a proposed value between $25,000 and $50,000. The solicitation, numbered 140FC126Q0024, is set aside exclusively for small businesses as defined by the NAICS code 238220 with a size standard of $19 million in annual receipts. The contractor must remove the existing pump and motor and install a new system capable of maintaining the gallery’s flow rate of up to 4,500 gallons per minute, while also ensuring flow sensor accuracy through weir crest measurements, providing a manual with programming details, and disposing of the old sensor.

All work must be completed by August 31, 2026, and performed at the hatchery's address on Twin Lakes Road. The contractor is required to submit a detailed cost breakdown for labor, materials, and other expenses, and failure to do so will render the proposal non-responsive. Compliance with all applicable building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and safety codes—including the International Building Code, National Electrical Code, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and OSHA standards—is mandatory, and work must align with the provided Winthrop Final Drawings and attachment photos. The contractor must also conduct necessary training for hatchery staff on operation and maintenance, submit a project schedule within seven days of award, and provide camera footage, O&M manuals, and weekly reports. An executed payment bond is required for awards over $35,000, and no bid bond is needed. The contractor must register in SAM.gov with a valid UEI, CAGE code, and TIN, maintain current representations and certifications, and comply with FAR clauses including wage rate requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act, equal opportunity for workers with disabilities, combating trafficking in persons, and hazardous material identification. The government reserves the right to inspect and accept only conforming work, and nonconforming items must be repaired or replaced at no additional cost. Electronic invoicing via the Treasury’s IPP system is required, and any substitutions of personnel, equipment, or procedures require prior written approval from the
