About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for specialized scale analysis services of summer steelhead fish at the Winthrop National Fish Hatchery, awarded to Washington State's Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) on September 25, 2025. The contract requires WDFW to conduct detailed scale analysis to determine the age and origin of steelhead fish, including enumerating annuli, recording age estimates in European notation, and categorizing fish as either hatchery or wild origin, all as mandated by a NOAA Fisheries Biological Opinion. The sole source justification is based on the specialized nature of these research services that are not typically available commercially, combined with WDFW's seven-year partnership history with USFWS that increases confidence in data acceptance. The annual contract value is less than $12,000, representing a significant cost reduction compared to previous specialist employment arrangements. The contractor will provide comprehensive digital files containing biological information including species data, dates, fish length measurements, and identification of any fish marks or tags alongside the scale analysis results.
