NV-lahontan NFH-biofilter repair

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking to sole source contract 140FS124Q0043 to Simerson Construction for replacement of airlines and pipes for four Aquaculture System Technology Polygeyser 1500 biological filtration units at the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery. The existing infrastructure freezes below 33 degrees Fahrenheit, disrupting water flow and posing risks to a threatened strain of Lahontan Cutthroat Trout housed at the facility. As the original installer of the filtration units in 2020, Simerson Construction possesses expertise in the Polygeyser 1500 system and the hatchery's complex water system, allowing for timely replacement of heat-tolerant components to maintain water quality. The solicitation due date is February 2, 2024.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. Simerson Construction is the proposed sole source award recipient under NAICS 238220 - Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors and PSC S206 - Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration Equipment. The Lahontan National Fish Hatchery in Fallon, Nevada is the place of performance for replacement of airlines and pipes across the four biological filtration units to be completed on an expedited timeline in order to resume normal hatchery operations during winter conditions.
