About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a sole-source contract to Rich Thompson Trucking Incorporated for emergency transportation of spring run Chinook salmon from Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery in Leavenworth, Washington to Little White Salmon NFH in Cook, Washington, with an estimated value under $20,000.
Market research by FWS managers, hatchery staff in Regions 1 and 8, and tribal programs including the Yakama Nation Fisheries Program identified RTTI as the only qualified source capable of meeting the time restrictions and specialized load requirements. The requirement is urgent, with service needed immediately during the period June 15–19, 2026, for two diesel semi-tractors with two drivers covering a 500-mile round trip. RTTI's 30-year track record transporting fish through the Snake River and Columbia River systems, possession of specialized live-support systems for fish transport trailers located at the Boise Field Office, and familiarity with Idaho Fish and Game operations establish it as the sole responsible source. The estimated cost is $4.08 per truck per mile. The Program/Project Officer (Mathew Maxey) and Contracting Officer (Chelsea Devivo) approved the sole-source acquisition on August 28, 2026, under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
