About this opportunity
The Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, anticipates soliciting a contract for Rio Grande Silvery Minnow (RGSM) spawning and egg monitoring services, with solicitation release expected June 12, 2026. This procurement is set aside for total small business under NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), with a $15 million size standard.
Place of performance is the Middle Rio Grande in New Mexico. The contractor will monitor spawning at three river locations during the spawning season to detect spawning events, characterize timing, duration, and magnitude of RGSM reproduction, and coordinate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, City of Albuquerque BioPark, and other egg collection entities. A secondary objective is to salvage eggs for movement to other river sections and propagation facilities, with an annual minimum target of 500,000 eggs collected for captive rearing and stocking.
An optional task involves utilizing a Moore Egg Collector boat to record egg numbers and water temperatures when optimal conditions occur, subject to government approval. The estimated period of performance is five years: a base year plus four one-year option years.
The contracting office is located at 555 Broadway Boulevard NE, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Primary contact is Mary Maestas at mmaestas@usbr.gov. The anticipated solicitation number is 140R4026R0009. PSC code is B509 (Special Studies/Analysis—Endangered Species).
