About this opportunity
The Connecticut Department of Agriculture is seeking bids for a Cultch Management project focusing on the procurement of dried/cured oyster shells, with a specific emphasis on shell that has been land cured for a minimum of 6 months. The solicitation, identified as Invitation to Bid (ITB) #26321, requires vendors to provide the maximum volume of shell available and a price per bushel for delivery to two specific locations: Bridgeport/Stratford Natural seed beds (water delivery) and 190 Rogers Avenue in Milford (land delivery). The delivery window is precisely scheduled from May 20th to June 10th, with water delivery requiring 3-4 good weather days and land delivery beginning May 20th, with boat loading starting May 27th and continuing through June 6th. Vendors must submit bids electronically to Agri.aquaculture@ct.gov, with the bid period running from November 5, 2024, at 7:00 AM EST to November 8, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST. The Department reserves the right to select multiple vendors to meet specific oyster enhancement goals, and delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms.
The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are mentioned in the documents. The bid does not specify a total contract value or budget range, leaving pricing flexibility to the vendors who will quote their own per-bushel rates. Contact for questions is David Carey at 203-874-0696 ext 103, and the primary point of communication is the Agri.aquaculture@ct.gov email address. While the documents do not outline precise evaluation criteria beyond the volume and price specifications, the Department's stated goal is oyster enhancement, suggesting that vendors demonstrating capacity to support this objective may be viewed favorably. The solicitation includes a campaign contribution certification form, which suggests standard governmental procurement compliance requirements.
