Blanket Purchase Agreement 140F0S23A0003

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) awarded Cargill, Incorporated a $75 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to supply specialized fish feed to national fish hatcheries across the contiguous United States through October 2032. Under this IDV, Cargill has received multiple firm fixed-price BPA call orders valued at over $1.5 million to deliver bulk fish feed to hatcheries in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The feed is formulated to support fish propagation, conservation objectives, and meet nutritional requirements while minimizing environmental impacts. This contract does not utilize any set-aside designations. The FWS oversees a national network of fish hatcheries that support recreational and subsistence fishing as well as broader aquatic conservation efforts, consistent with Cargill's role as a major global supplier of agricultural commodities, including fish feed, to federal agencies.

Through the original solicitation, the FWS sought sources for a nationwide fish feed BPA to supply all 48 contiguous states. Interested offerors had to demonstrate their ability to provide fish feed used at scale without adverse effects on the fish or environment, as well as confirm they could potentially supply all states or a limited number. The FWS did not identify incumbent contractors or provide an estimated contract value, though the nationwide scope suggests a sizable multi-year agreement to support the agency's fish hatchery system.
