About this opportunity
The USDA Agricultural Research Service is procuring specialized shellfish nursery equipment for aquaculture operations through RFQ 1232SA25Q0276. The requirement consists of two fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) rectangular tanks measuring 144"L x 48"W x 12"D with specific construction standards and 120 circular oyster upweller/downweller tubes for rearing juvenile oysters. Offerors must demonstrate technical capability and satisfactory past experience with similar aquaculture or marine equipment projects completed within the last five years, including detailed project references and experience with USDA-designated biobased products. The evaluation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology with three factors: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail), Satisfactory Past Experience (Pass/Fail), and Price as the determining factor among technically acceptable quotes. Questions must be submitted by August 11, 2025 at 12:00pm Pacific Time, with quotes due August 18, 2025 at 12:00pm Pacific Time to Brian.Fien@usda.gov.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 112512 (Shellfish Farming) with a size standard of $3.75 million, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract requires delivery within 60 days after award on an FOB Destination basis to the OSU Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. The tanks must feature FDA-approvable materials, specific gel coat requirements, internal baffle dividers, PVC standpipe drains, and supporting legs, while the 120 oyster tubes require precise dimensional specifications with 12" internal diameter and 9" height. Although no specific contract value is disclosed, the specialized nature of the FRP marine equipment and the small business size standard suggest a significant procurement value. The equipment will support ongoing shellfish research and cultivation activities at the marine science facility on the Oregon coast.
