About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) regarding salmon carcass removal services at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery in Anderson, California. This Special Notice announces the agency's intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Sacramento Rendering Co. for disposing of salmon carcasses during the spawning season. The contract falls under NAICS code 311613 (Rendering and Meat Byproduct Processing) and will be awarded using Simplified Acquisition procedures under FAR 13.501(a)(b). This NOI is not a request for competitive quotes, but rather a formal notification to industry of the government's procurement intent. The announcement constitutes the only official notice of this procurement action.
The primary objective is to remove approximately 2,500 salmon carcasses per load (weighing around 45,000 pounds) twice weekly from October 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, with carcasses intended for fertilizer use. Interested contractors must submit a capability statement by 2:00 PM EDT on Friday, November 14, 2025, demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government and not cost or time prohibitive; submissions should be directed to Contracting Specialist Fred Riley at fred_riley@fws.gov with the subject line "Notice of Intent Capability Statement Submission - DOIFFBO260001." While there are no formal eligibility restrictions stated, any responsible source may submit, and the government retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on received responses. The work will be performed at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery during normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–4:30 PM) with the hatchery providing equipment to load carcasses into the contractor's transport vehicle. This procurement represents an opportunity for commercial services providers specializing in rendering and byproduct processing to support federal fish hatchery operations.
