About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Sacramento Rendering Co. for urgent disposal of salmon carcasses at Coleman National Fish Hatchery under FAR 13.501(a)(b), Simplified Acquisition procedures.
The justification rests on Sacramento Rendering Co. being the only identified source holding the specific state and federal permits required to process animal carcasses at the required volume. The hatchery must dispose of approximately 40,000 salmon carcasses during the spawning season (October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), with over 10,000 carcasses requiring processing this year. The carcasses are expired fall run Chinook salmon of poor quality, ineligible for donation to Native American tribes or food banks, and intended for fertilizer use. Permitting and capacity constraints, combined with the compressed seasonal window tied to the natural spawning run and the lack of other permitted facilities within reasonable service radius of the hatchery, limit competition. Sacramento Rendering Co. is licensed, insured, and certified for animal waste processing with demonstrated track record of compliant service to federal and state agencies. Pricing was determined fair and reasonable based on comparison with previous contracts.
Place of performance is Coleman National Fish Hatchery, California. Work commences after receipt of purchase order. NAICS code is 311613, Rendering and Meat Byproduct Processing. Responsible sources may submit capability statements demonstrating that competition would be advantageous and not cost or time prohibitive by 2:00 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, August 26, 2026, to Chelsea DeVivo, Contracting Specialist.
