Conservation/MRDGS-Roti-Grow-Rotifers FY26

The state of Alabama, specifically the Marine Resources Division in Baldwin County, is seeking to establish an annual master agreement for Roti-Grow-Rotifers, a specialized product critical to marine research and operations. This procurement is structured as an "All or None" contract, indicating that the entire contract must be awarded to a single vendor who can meet all specified requirements. The primary deliverable is a frozen biological product that must maintain its frozen state throughout shipping, with delivery designated to 999 Commerce Drive in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The contract will be valid from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with items to be ordered on an as-needed basis. The solicitation requires vendors to ensure product integrity during transportation, with a strict mandate that the Roti-Grow-Rotifers remain frozen throughout the shipping process. The due date for this opportunity is September 30, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately one month to prepare and submit their proposals.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and logistical requirements for supplying frozen rotifers to a marine research division. The procurement is localized to Baldwin County, Alabama, which might inherently favor local or state-based suppliers with proven capabilities in marine biological product distribution. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are mentioned in the current documentation. The contract represents an annual master agreement, suggesting potential recurring value, though exact budget ranges are not specified. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to consistently produce, package, and ship Roti-Grow-Rotifers while maintaining strict temperature control, which implies a need for specialized biological handling expertise and appropriate cold chain logistics infrastructure.
