About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation has issued a Sources Sought notice for real-time genetic monitoring services related to fish identification at the Central Valley Project (CVP) salvage facility. This special notice is designed to gather market information and determine appropriate procurement strategies for genetic monitoring of fish populations. The notice specifically targets vendors capable of performing genetic identification services at the CVP and other monitoring locations. It is important to note that this is not a solicitation announcement, but rather a market research initiative to understand potential contractor capabilities. The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking comprehensive information about potential service providers' experience, qualifications, and capacity to meet their specific genetic monitoring requirements.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit a detailed capability statement that demonstrates their ability to meet the project's requirements by Tuesday, July 25, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The response should include previous experience with similar work, personnel qualifications, and the firm's business size status (such as small business, 8(a), HUBZONE, women-owned, or veteran-owned). The primary objective is to support genetic identification of Chinook salmon populations, with contractors expected to process approximately 7,200 samples annually and provide rapid genetic analysis within 24-48 hours. Responses should be sent directly to Chelsea Tikotsky at ctikotsky@usbr.gov, with the understanding that this notice does not guarantee a contract award. The Bureau will use the gathered information to make decisions about competition and potential set-asides for the eventual solicitation, which will be published on www.sam.gov.
