About this file
This document is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 304T-26-325M3.2 issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division for Fish Feed. The solicitation covers 14 distinct lines of fish feed products, including salmon rations, catfish feed, redfish feed, bass brood stock feed, and trout grower feed, with varying protein levels, pellet sizes, and feed characteristics such as floating or sinking. The feed types range from No. 0 Starter to 3/8 inch pellets, with specific requirements for protein content, crude fat, fiber, and ash percentages. Delivery will be made across five geographical zones in Texas, with primary delivery locations including San Marcos, Athens, Graford, Brookeland, and Lake Jackson.
The document specifies detailed manufacturing requirements, including that feed must be produced in the respondent's own mill, include comprehensive vitamin and mineral packs, and be processed through an extruder. Packaging specifications mandate 50-pound plastic bags that are clearly labeled with contents, feed type, size, and a guaranteed analysis. Pallets must be wooden, double shrink-wrapped, and capable of being stacked up to six feet high. The feed must meet strict quality standards, including limitations on fines, no contaminating particles, and a mold inhibitor effective for three months in hot and humid conditions. While specific pricing is not detailed in this document, it references a Mandatory Price Sheet for line items, indicating that pricing will be a critical component of the bid evaluation.
