CO leadville NFH hdpe water pipe materials

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotes for High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) water pipe materials and delivery services for the Leadville National Fish Hatchery in Colorado. The procurement includes 826 linear feet of 3-inch HDPE fuse pipe with carbon black SDR11 rating, along with supporting components including temporary caps, butt fuse fittings in 22.5-degree and 45-degree angles, and watertight seal wall sleeves. All materials must be certified NSF 61 compliant for potable water use and designed to operate below 40 PSI, with pricing to include both materials and delivery to the site. Award will be made on a best-value basis with conformance to technical specifications weighted more favorably than price alone, considering technical specifications, past performance, and price. Quotes are due February 5, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, with delivery required by July 19, 2026.

This solicitation is designated as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside, which restricts eligibility to qualifying women-owned firms. The NAICS code is 326122 (Plastics Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees. The project involves replacing an existing wood stave water system at the Leadville National Fish Hatchery facility that transports drinking water from spring boxes to collection boxes. The specific line items total five components across the bid schedule, with the primary material being the 826 linear feet of 3-inch HDPE pipe. Performance of the work will take place at the Leadville, Colorado location, with all materials to be delivered to the hatchery site by the July 19, 2026 deadline.
