About this file
This document is a Notice of Intent (NOI) issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to inform industry contractors of its intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to MOORE-CLARK U.S.A., INC. The contract is for an urgent fish feed delivery by 12/01/2025 for the Leavenworth Fisheries Complex, which raises Chinook, Coho, and Steelhead in the Columbia Basin. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 112511 for Finfish Farming and Fish Hatcheries, and will be awarded using Simplified Acquisition procedures under FAR 13.501(a)b).
Interested parties may submit a capability statement demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government and not cost or time prohibitive. Submissions must be sent to Contracting Specialist Fred Riley at fred_riley@fws.gov by 2:00 pm EDT on Monday 11/17/2025, with the subject line "Notice of Intent Capability Statement Submission - DOIFFBO260002". The agency emphasizes that this is not a request for competitive quotes, and any determination to compete the contract remains solely at the agency's discretion. The primary justification for the sole source approach is maintaining consistency in fish feed that has been tested and produces quality fish, as changing vendors could negatively impact fish growth and survival.

This contract action is for commercial services under NAICS code 112511, Finfish Farming and Fish Hatcheries for which the agency intends to award with only one source under Authority, FAR 13.501(a)b), Simplified Acquisition procedures.
The Leavenworth Fisheries Complex (Leavenworth NFH, Entiat NFH, and Winthrop NFH) raises Chinook, Coho, and Steelhead in the Columbia Basin. Switching vendors would not be optimal to change their diet; the preference is to remain consistent in utilizing a feed that has been tested and has produced quality fish. In addition, changing their feed/diets at this critical stage of their lives could be detrimental to their growth, health, and high survival potential.
FWS anticipates deliveries to begin after receipt of the delivery/ purchase order.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government and would not be cost or time prohibitive. Responses received from this solicitation will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the agency not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the agency.
Questions or comments to this NOI should be directed to Contracting Specialist, Fred Riley at fred_riley@fws.gov no later than 2:00pm, EDT, Monday 11/17/2025.
