2203 Path Drugs Virkon Tricainesal

The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission is seeking an electronic bid for providing Tricaine-S and Virkon Aquatic to the Benner Spring State Fish Hatchery, located in Centre County. This procurement is specifically for pharmaceutical and disinfection products used in fish hatchery operations. The invitation for bid (IFB) was posted on February 26, 2014, with a bid submission deadline of March 13, 2014. To participate, vendors must register on the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.com) and submit their bid electronically. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a single line item basis, with the contract term commencing upon issuance of a fully executed purchase order and continuing until complete delivery and acceptance of the awarded items. Vendors must comply with Commonwealth requirements related to recycled content, environmental provisions, and non-discrimination standards.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Potential bidders must be registered vendors and will be subject to the Commonwealth's Reciprocal Limitations Act, which provides preferences for Pennsylvania-based manufacturers and suppliers. The bid documents indicate that the Commonwealth reserves the right to purchase products through alternative competitive bidding processes if needed. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract will be a fixed-price agreement. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with various Commonwealth requirements and be prepared for potential contract termination conditions, including convenience, lack of appropriations, or contractor default. The solicitation covers pharmaceutical and disinfection products specifically for fish hatchery operations, suggesting a specialized procurement with potentially limited vendor pool.
