Specification Sheet – rainbow trout feed
I. Background The USDA-ARS-NCCCWA located at 11861 Leetown Road, Kearneysville, WV 25430 conducts long-term, multidisciplinary research on rainbow trout in Leetown, WV, and as part of this research mission the NCCCWA is required to operate a rainbow trout hatchery and maintain large research and breeding populations.
II. Scope Agency expects to provide high-quality, consistent diets for rainbow trout to support aquatic life, welfare, and performance levels throughout all phases of the life cycle (i.e., fry stage through broodstock stage) for populations that serve long-term, multidisciplinary research objectives that span multiple generations.
III. Objectives The expectation of this acquisition is provision of a suite of high-quality rainbow trout feed products, from a single manufacturer, that provide nutritional requirements of fish at all phases of their life cycle. Sourcing feed from a single manufacturer is critical to minimize variation in fish performance attributable to varying diets, and thus ensure continuity in interpretation of research results across multiple generations and scientific disciplines.
IV. Tasks or Requirements Requirement is bagged feed (i.e., non-bulk) with sizes, protein composition, fat composition, and floating/sinking characteristics described in Section X below. Specific quantities will be identified on specific orders based on the schedule of items found in section X. If under an order is under the micro purchase threshold of $10,000, the government purchase card holder may place an order using their purchase card. For orders greater than that amount, a written order must be issued by a contracting officer.
V. Delivery Vendor required to deliver product as needed (approximately monthly) to ensure uninterrupted supply to support aquaculture of unit's research fish. Delivery will be indicated on each order.
