The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotes for industrial control equipment consisting of one wall-mounted NEMA 4X fiberglass control panel and one 6-inch automatic self-cleaning industrial strainer for the Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery in North Dakota. This is a supplies-only acquisition with no installation required, classified under NAICS code 333998 (All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing). The solicitation requires the Hellan Strainer as the sole acceptable manufacturer, with the justification based on seamless integration with existing systems without modifications to ensure operational capability and prevent mission disruptions. The government will evaluate proposals using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, considering salient characteristics, competitive pricing, delivery lead time, warranty terms, and past performance verified through CPARS/CRA. Quotations must be submitted by April 1, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET via email to khalilah_brown@fws.gov, and must include unit pricing, total price with shipping, estimated delivery date, manufacturer and model numbers, and descriptive literature demonstrating compliance with specifications.

This is a 100% Total Small Business set-aside on a firm-fixed-price basis, with Hellan Strainer Company identified as the required original equipment manufacturer or authorized distributor. The procurement involves delivery of one Hellan Strainer (Model 0601DA150800326) with specific technical features including a 6-inch cast iron body with epoxy coating, dual rotating 1/8-inch perforated screens, and an automated cleaning system triggered at approximately 4 psi differential pressure. The contract period of performance runs from April 6, 2026, to September 30, 2026, with delivery required to Garrison Dam NFH at 530 Hatchery Road, Riverdale, ND 58476. While no specific budget ceiling is disclosed, pricing will be evaluated competitively among qualified small business offerors. The control panel must feature a fiberglass NEMA-4X enclosure rated for 460v/3ph with integrated motor starters, microprocessor controls, and operational indicator lights to support the strainer's automated filtration and cleaning functions.
