About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a firm fixed sole-source contract to Mountain Trades Contracting, LLC for water line repairs at Creston National Fish Hatchery in Kalispell, Montana, under FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source.
The hatchery operates 23 550-gallon tanks supporting approximately 500,000 Westslope Cutthroat Trout and faces an urgent critical need: a leaking water supply pipeline threatens infrastructure including the access road, hatchery building, aeration water tower, and the geothermal heat pump system that provides heating and cooling. Ongoing construction of replacement well #2 forced implementation of a contingency rearing plan that has increased fish mortality by 20 percent. The hatchery must restore normal operations before receiving incoming Cutthroat eggs in mid-May and conducting stocking operations in June. Without repairs, a secondary contingency plan using spring water will be necessary, resulting in even higher mortality rates. The hatchery offices on the second floor will become unbearably hot during summer without geothermal heat pump functionality. The work includes replacement of approximately 150 feet of existing 10-inch water line with new pipe and fittings. Market research identified approximately 22 small businesses in the Kalispell area under plumbing and sewer line activities; however, the urgent timeline and potential for timely performance necessitate single-source procurement. Mountain Trades is qualified based on prior work at the hatchery and current SAM.gov registration under NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction). The PSC code is Z2NE. Capability statements asserting competitive advantage must be submitted in writing to Thomas_ikner@ios.doi.gov.
