Conservation/MRD - Fish Food-Adult

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is requesting live fish food supplies for the Marine Resources Division via Quick Quote, with responses due October 2, 2026. All deliveries must be made by refrigerated truck on the same day to the facility at 999 Commerce Drive, Gulf Shores, Alabama, and third-party vendors are prohibited.

The initial contract term runs December 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with DCNR intending to establish a multi-year agreement renewable annually up to a maximum cumulative value of $25,000 across all years combined or a maximum term of five years, whichever is reached first. The supplier must maintain consistency in pricing, products, services, specifications, and all contract deliverables throughout the entire contract term. Price escalation requests may be considered if material, labor, or other contract components increase significantly through no fault of the supplier, provided documented justification and increases do not exceed five percent of annual contract cost or applicable industry-specific price index increases.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. All suppliers must comply with Alabama state law requirements, including E-Verify enrollment verification for employees working in Alabama and Beason-Hammon Act compliance regarding immigration law. Foreign corporations must register with the Alabama Secretary of State. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses and to cancel contracts for convenience with reasonable notice.
