About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for urgent transportation services required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Coleman National Fish Hatchery. The USFWS requires four diesel semi-tractors with drivers to transport 400 miles round-trip from the hatchery in Anderson, CA to San Rafael, CA to release fall run Chinook salmon during May 1-20, 2024. Market research was conducted, but no vendors with experience hauling live fish submitted proposals, so the USFWS recommends sole sourcing the requirement to Rich Thompson Trucking Incorporated (RTTI), who has 30 years of experience transporting fish for the state of Idaho. The USFWS determined RTTI's pricing will be fair and reasonable. The contract will be awarded through a limited/sole source procurement under Solicitation Number 140FS124Q0078.

| Text2: An intent to sole source was posted and documented in the file. No vendor's with experience hauling live fish provided a proposal or quote. Given the time-frame in which these services are required and the delicate nature of the requirement it is in the best interest of the government to sole source this requirement. |
Fish hatcheries in Region 1, 2, & 8 along with state program such as California Department of Fish Wildlife and Idaho Fish and Game were contacted. Recommendations of the incumbent contractor that they have used for 30 years to transport fish through the Snake River and Columbia River systems will be utilized.
