Conservation/FS/Hatcheries - Pond Fertilizer

The state of Alabama, specifically through the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), is seeking a vendor to provide pond fertilizer for two fish hatcheries located in Eastaboga and Marion. This procurement is a complete, all-or-none contract for supplying fertilizer needed by March 31, 2026, with delivery required to both the Eastaboga Fish Hatchery (1930 Fish Hatchery Rd., Eastaboga) and the Marion Fish Hatchery (36 Bass Drive, Marion). Vendors must submit their bid with an attached product label, indicating a requirement for detailed product specification documentation. The contract opportunity was posted on January 7, 2026, with proposals due by January 12, 2026, presenting a relatively tight submission window. Evaluation criteria are not explicitly stated, but the vendor must meet the specific delivery requirements and provide appropriate product documentation. The procurement is focused on Montgomery County and targets supporting the state's fish hatchery operations with necessary agricultural/aquaculture supplies.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are mentioned in the contract opportunity, vendors will need to demonstrate capability to deliver fertilizer to two specific fish hatchery locations. The contract appears to be a standard supply procurement without complex integration requirements or technology specifications. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the documentation. The "all-or-none" stipulation suggests the state seeks a comprehensive solution from a single vendor capable of meeting the full fertilizer requirements for both hatchery locations. Potential bidders should carefully review the attached specifications and ensure they can meet the March 31, 2026 delivery deadline to both facility locations. The procurement represents a focused, straightforward supply contract for supporting Alabama's conservation and fisheries management infrastructure.
