The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 4, awarded a $36,755.83 firm fixed-price blanket purchase agreement call to Zeigler Bros Inc. for fish food delivery to the Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery. The contract, issued on March 25, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of April 27, 2026, was not designated as a set-aside. Zeigler Bros Inc., headquartered in Gardners, Pennsylvania, is a specialized manufacturer of animal feeds and nutritional products with a strong federal contracting presence since 2003. The award falls under the company's existing $75 million blanket purchase agreement with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, which extends through October 31, 2032, and serves as the primary vehicle for the company's numerous task orders supplying bulk fish food to national fish hatcheries across the contiguous United States.

Zeigler Bros Inc. has established itself as a critical supplier to multiple federal agencies, providing customized feed formulations for aquaculture, wildlife management, biomedical research, and laboratory animal nutrition programs. Beyond its primary relationship with the Fish and Wildlife Service, the company maintains four significant indefinite delivery contracts, including a $1.7 million agreement with the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences for rodent feed, a $400,000 contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service for fish feed provision, and a $350,000 Food and Drug Administration contract for irradiated rodent feed. These contract vehicles enable federal agencies to issue task orders efficiently while maintaining Zeigler Bros Inc.'s role as a specialized supplier of high-quality animal nutrition products essential to federal aquaculture and wildlife management operations.
