Contract for Rotenone Fish Toxicant Powder

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, through the State of Utah Division of Purchasing, issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation number JH21-184 for Rotenone Fish Toxicant Powder with a minimum 8% active ingredient concentration. The procurement seeks 110 lb. bags of powder to be delivered to six Utah locations: Salt Lake City, Ogden, Springville, Cedar City, Price, and Vernal. The contract period runs from the award date through February 26, 2024, with the intention of establishing an as-needed supply contract for fish management purposes. Bidders were required to provide pricing for each location, with costs per bag including shipping, and must meet specific technical specifications outlined in the solicitation's Scope of Work. The procurement process involved a bid opening on June 28, 2021, at 3:00 PM MDT and a closing date of July 12, 2021, at 2:00 PM MDT, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest cost responsive and responsible bidder.

Market research indicated that the >8% concentration product would cost less than 5% more than current 5.0-7.9% concentration products while providing approximately 50% more active ingredient. The contract was ultimately awarded to SRC Corp DBA Steve Regan Company on July 14, 2021. Bidders were required to maintain applicable licenses, certify no boycotts of Israel, and ensure no conflicts of interest. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the solicitation included standard compliance requirements typical of state procurement processes. Specific vendor qualifications included the ability to provide Prentox Rotenone Fish Toxicant Powder that meets the technical specifications. Though the exact contract value was not explicitly stated, the multi-location delivery requirement and the as-needed procurement approach suggest a flexible but potentially significant contract value aligned with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' fish management needs.
