About this file
This is an Invitation to Bid (ITB 32801-13824) issued by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) for the purchase and delivery of live, pure channel catfish to support fishing events and community fishing lakes across Tennessee. The procurement seeks approximately 59,000 pounds of catfish annually, with fish meeting specifications of an average weight of one to two pounds per fish with no more than ten percent variance, disease-free status, and no hybrid species. Bidders must submit separate bids for each of the four TWRA regions (West, Middle, Cumberland Plateau, and East Tennessee), with a single award to be made per region. Deliveries must occur within fourteen days of purchase order receipt and be completed within thirty days, with up to four deliveries per region requested between March and October, with most deliveries occurring April through June. The bid submission deadline is March 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM CDT through the State's EDISON system, with written questions and comments due by March 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM CDT. The contract term is two years with one one-year renewal option, providing a maximum contract period of five years.
Pricing shall be submitted as a delivered price per pound on an F.O.B. Destination basis, with all delivery charges and off-loading responsibilities included in the bid price. The contractor is responsible for proper temperature tempering and meeting all delivery specifications, and TWRA will not compensate for dead, diseased, or non-target species fish. At least fifty percent of all delivered catfish must be produced by the contracted vendor. No specific set-asides or incumbent vendors are identified in the solicitation. Respondents must demonstrate compliance with applicable Tennessee licensing and registration requirements, including registration with the Tennessee Department of Revenue, proof of workers' compensation and employer liability insurance, and certifications of compliance with the Iran Divestment Act and non-debarment from federal or state agencies. The procurement budget or anticipated award value is not explicitly stated; however, the contract covers regional delivery of catfish with no purchase amount guaranteed due to potential budgetary constraints.
