About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for marking and tagging services for juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery Complex. The contract will be awarded to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), which is deemed the sole qualified contractor due to its exclusive ability to operate specialized AutoFish marking and tagging systems owned by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The justification highlights that PSMFC is the only entity capable of using these systems, which enable faster and more precise fish processing compared to manual methods. The cost barrier to entry is significant, with a new automated fish marking trailer estimated at $1.5 million, making alternative vendors impractical. A March 15, 2016 memo from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife mandates that PSMFC staff are the exclusive operators of these AutoFish systems. The contract (140FS125P0010) is scheduled for award on December 10, 2024, under the Finfish Farming and Fish Hatcheries NAICS category, with the specific purpose of natural resources and fisheries management services.
