The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotations for a 10-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide transportation services for fish-marking trailers at facilities across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. This Request for Quotation (RFQ 140FS126Q0081) requires contractors to transport two types of specialized trailers—Automated Fish Marking Trailers (47 feet long, valued at approximately $1,575,000 each) and Manual Fish Marking Trailers (43 feet long)—between 17 specified hatcheries. Contractors must maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in cargo insurance coverage and demonstrate the capability to provide transportation during regular business hours as well as occasional off-hours deliveries. Award will be made using a trade-off evaluation method that weighs price equally with technical capability and past performance, excluding any terminations for default. Quotations must be submitted by 5:00 PM Pacific Time on April 17, 2026, with the anticipated performance period running from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2036.

This solicitation is a total small business set-aside with a NAICS code of 924120 and a small business size standard of 500 employees, making it available exclusively to qualified small business concerns. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation materials. Individual BPA calls will be placed below the micro-purchase threshold and paid via government credit card, though no specific overall contract value is stated in the RFQ. All respondents must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) by the April 17 quote deadline and submit quotations on company letterhead with their SAM.gov UEI codes. Performance locations include the 17 hatcheries distributed across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, with regular access available during standard business hours.
