The Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks (KDWP), through the State of Kansas Department of Administration Procurement and Contracts office, is soliciting bids to establish a Qualified Vendor Pool for the supply and delivery of bulk alfalfa pellets. The solicitation seeks vendors capable of providing alfalfa pellets meeting minimum specifications of 17% crude protein, 2.0% crude fat, and maximum 27% crude fiber, with an estimated annual quantity of up to 13 tons delivered in approximately 3-ton increments to the Farlington Fish Hatchery in Farlington, Kansas. Bidders must demonstrate three years of comparable industry experience and provide three references as proof of qualification. The bid event opened on April 22, 2026, and closes on May 27, 2026, at 2:00 PM CDT; written questions requesting clarification must be submitted via email to Michelle R. Brown, the Procurement Officer, no later than May 4, 2026. The contract term extends from the award date through June 30, 2031, with delivery required within 30 days of order receipt and 24 hours' notice required prior to delivery. This is an indefinite quantity contract with no guaranteed volume, operating as a Qualified Vendor List where each order will be individually quoted among all awarded vendors, with the lowest compliant price selected. Pricing must be itemized to include all delivery and shipping fees, remain firm for the entire contract period, and operate under Net 30 payment terms with F.O.B. destination, prepaid and allowed delivery.
Bidders may claim applicable preferences, including Disabled Veteran Owned Business, Certified Business, or State Use Purchase designations, with appropriate supporting documentation. All bidders must submit required certifications including a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue, Immigration Reform and Control Certification, Sexual Harassment Policy Acknowledgment, Boycott of Israel Certification, and Procurement Equipment Certification. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. Pricing is available to political subdivisions utilizing State contracts. No bid guarantee is required, and the State reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, waive minor deviations, and terminate the contract for cause or convenience. While a specific budget range or award value is not provided in the solicitation, the estimated annual quantity of up to 13 tons suggests a relatively modest contract value, though actual expenditures will depend on market pricing and actual orders placed through the Qualified Vendor Pool. All bid responses become property of the State of Kansas and are subject to the Kansas Open Records Act.
