The primary objective is to collect catch and biological data from three key locations—the east channel of the Hornaday River, Lasard Creek, and Tippi in western Darnley Bay—to evaluate the population status of Arctic char and to investigate the biologically distinct "Blue char" variant observed at Tippi. The work must be conducted during specific windows in 2026, with field operations spanning from mid-July to late August across the three sites, requiring one monitor and one assistant per fishing day. All data must be recorded using standardized DFO data sheets for Weather, Catch-Effort, Length-weight Only, and Dead-Sample, and biological samples including otoliths, fin clips, stomachs, muscle, and gill arches must be collected and preserved according to strict protocols, with frozen samples maintained at sub-zero temperatures until delivery. All deliverables—including mid-term and final reports, completed field records, and physical samples—are to be submitted to the DFO Project Authority in Inuvik no later than October 15, 2026, with otoliths and fin clips due within two weeks of fieldwork completion. The contract mandates that the supplier must meet four mandatory pass/fail criteria: demonstrated familiarity with Arctic char fisheries in Darnley Bay, over ten years of experience working directly with local harvesters in the region, extensive boat navigation experience within 50 km of Paulatuk, and a decade-plus track record in collecting fisheries data including catch rates and biological sampling. The procurement is subject to the Inuvialuit Final Agreement and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, and is structured as a set-aside with a pre-identified supplier—the Paulatuk Hunters and Trappers Committee—unless another entity submits a qualifying statement of capabilities by the June 23, 2026 deadline.

F--Sources Sought - Lake Trout Suppression Gillnetting ServicesThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking qualified contractors to perform lake trout suppression gillnetting services at Swan Lake in Lake County, Montana, as part of efforts to protect the threatened Bull Trout population. The operations are scheduled for a five-day window from July 13 to July 17, 2026, with daily deployment and retrieval of gillnets under strict protocols to minimize bycatch and mortality of Bull Trout, including the use of a recovery tank with supplemental oxygen and chilled water. Contractors must also reconstruct all government-furnished gillnets to exacting specifications, including custom hanging ratios, specific twine diameters, mesh sizes ranging from 1.5” to 5.5”, and the use of designated lead, float, and bridle lines, either as entirely new nets or refill reconditioned versions using existing hardware. Nets must be delivered to Creston National Fish Hatchery or other designated U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service locations after completion. Contractors are required to demonstrate proven experience in inland lake gillnetting operations targeting lake trout, with specific expertise in minimizing non-target species mortality and restringing complex net configurations to precise standards. They must provide their own gillnetting vessel, operational equipment, and a fully equipped net shop capable of meeting all reconstruction requirements. The government will supply buoys, anchors, and gillnets, along with a Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks technician to assist with data collection, while contractors are responsible for all other materials, labor, and logistics. Performance will be measured by daily net deployment success, achievement of biomass removal targets for juvenile and adult lake trout, maintaining Bull Trout bycatch mortality below established thresholds, and achieving 100% compliance in net reconstruction. Interested parties must submit a five-page capability statement by May 7, 2026, via email as a PDF, detailing company information, technical experience, personnel qualifications, and equipment specifications, with no reimbursement for submission costs.
