23 LGF Pheasant Feed

The Pennsylvania Game Commission's Bureau of Wildlife Management is seeking a pheasant starter feed contract for the Loyalsock Game Farm covering fiscal years 2021 and 2022. The procurement involves the delivery of 510 total US tons of pheasant starter feed, to be supplied as crumbles or 5/32" pellets, with specific medication requirements including Avatec and Amprolium. Deliveries are scheduled in two primary periods: 260 US tons from April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, and an additional 250 US tons from July 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023. Deliveries must be made in 12-24 ton lots as requested by the Game Farm Superintendent, with precise nutritional specifications and ingredient restrictions for the pheasant diet. The contract opportunity was originally posted on February 10, 2022, with proposals due by February 24, 2022, and requires vendors to submit pricing in US tons for feed and US pounds for medications. Key performance requirements include adherence to specified nutrient guidelines, timely delivery, and compliance with invoicing and payment terms.

The contract opportunity includes specific worker protection requirements mandated by Executive Order 2021-06, requiring contractors to certify compliance with Pennsylvania's labor and workplace safety laws. Vendors must complete a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form, acknowledging adherence to various state labor regulations and potential penalties for false certifications. The solicitation appears to be open to qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract covers feed and medication provisions for multiple game farm locations. Vendors must demonstrate capability to meet precise nutritional specifications, delivery schedules, and administrative requirements. The Pennsylvania Game Commission reserves the right to cancel purchase orders for non-compliance, indicating strict performance expectations. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation, suggesting this may be a new or rebid contract opportunity.
