Purchase Order 140FS326P0006

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1, awarded a $26,511.32 firm fixed-price purchase order to Moore-Clark U.S.A., Inc. on November 5, 2025, for specialized fish feed delivery to the Winthrop National Fish Hatchery in Washington. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2025. This award was issued under simplified acquisition procedures following a Notice of Intent that identified Moore-Clark as the intended sole-source awardee. The procurement responds to the agency's critical need to maintain consistency in fish feed for Chinook, Coho, and Steelhead populations being cultivated in the Columbia Basin, with required deliveries including specific formulations such as BioVita Starter and BioClark's Fry feed due by December 1, 2025.

This purchase order represents a task order issued against Moore-Clark's larger $75 million blanket purchase agreement with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, which carries a ceiling value and runs through October 2032. Moore-Clark, a specialized manufacturer based in Longview, Washington, has established itself as a primary supplier of customized fish feed and biological materials to federal fish hatcheries nationwide. The company's consistent selection for these contracts, all awarded on a competitive merit basis without set-aside designations, reflects the specialized nature of its products and their critical role in supporting the Fish and Wildlife Service's conservation efforts and recreational fishing programs across multiple states.
