This contract award is for $8,510.00 to Simerson Construction LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, to replace airlines and pipes for four Aquaculture System Technology Polygeyser 1500 biological filtration units at the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery in Fallon, Nevada. The replacement is needed due to the existing infrastructure freezing below 33 degrees Fahrenheit, disrupting water flow and posing risks to a threatened strain of Lahontan Cutthroat Trout housed at the facility.
Simerson Construction was selected as the sole source provider for this requirement under NAICS code 238220 - Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors, as the original installer of the filtration units in 2020 and possessing expertise in the Polygeyser 1500 system and the hatchery's complex water system. This contract award is not associated with a larger Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV). There is no set-aside designation for this requirement.
