Blanket Purchase Agreement 140F0S23A0004

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Wilbur-Ellis Nutrition, LLC to supply fish feed to various national fish hatcheries across the contiguous United States. The original solicitation sought sources for a fish feed blanket purchase agreement to supply feed and delivery to hatcheries in 48 states, with interested parties requested to provide company information and statements regarding feed quality by February 2022.

Under the blanket purchase agreement, multiple calls were awarded from 2023 through 2032 for firm-fixed price fish feed contracts to specific hatcheries totaling over $300,000. Locations included Tishomingo, Oklahoma; Anderson, California; Grand Junction, Colorado; and Randlett, Utah. No subcontractors or socioeconomic set asides were specified. The purpose of these orders is to provide specialized feed tailored to the nutritional needs of fish populations while avoiding adverse environmental impacts, in support of the Service's mission to conserve fisheries through the National Fish Hatchery System.
