About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is seeking bids for the supply of Fathead Minnows for its Fish Hatchery Systems and District rearing ponds. The purpose of this Invitation for Bids (IFB) is to establish a 2-year master contract for the delivery of approximately 90,000 lbs of Fathead Minnows to the hatcheries and 65,000 lbs to the district rearing ponds, with the State having the option to renew for up to 3 additional years. Bids are due by December 7, 2020, and will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Pricing is requested on a per pound basis for the different minnow sizes, with a formula provided for calculating maximum price adjustments during any renewal terms based on the Producer Price Index. The solicitation does not contain any small or minority business set-aside requirements, but vendors must have the appropriate Aquaculture and Minnow Dealer licenses to be eligible.

This contracting opportunity is limited to electronic submissions through the BidBuy platform, as the State of Illinois has issued a Notice of Electronic Submission Only for all competitive solicitations. No paper responses will be accepted. The State has also cancelled a previous solicitation (BidBuy Reference Number 21-422DNR-RESCO-B-18498) for Fathead Minnows, citing unreasonable pricing and potential issues with bid collusion or lack of independent pricing. While the current IFB does not disclose any incumbent vendors or contract values, the cancellation of the prior solicitation suggests the State may have budget constraints or concerns about the pricing and competition for this requirement.
