The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) is conducting a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) for fish food procurement across all state hatcheries, with solicitation Event ID 17300-EVT0010480 open from September 5, 2025, at 4:30 PM CDT to October 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT. The procurement seeks commercial grade, custom formulated fish feed for five locations, covering multiple feed sections including 40% starter diets, 35-40% diets, 35% bulk unbagged diets, and 35-45% medicated diets specifically designed for warmwater fishes. Delivery is primarily scheduled for April with some August deliveries, with anticipated order quantities ranging from 250 to 39,300 pounds across different feed types. Vendors must provide feed manufactured within 90 days of delivery, packaged in 40-50 lb moisture-resistant bags, and tagged with comprehensive product information. Bidders are required to submit mandatory documents including a current Tax Clearance Certificate, Certification Regarding Immigration Reform and Control, and forms related to Sexual Harassment and Boycott of Israel. The state encourages participation from specific business categories, offering potential bidder preferences for Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses, State Use Purchases, and Certified Businesses. Vendors can propose on any combination of feed groups, with bids to be awarded by group, and the solicitation emphasizes individual merit and qualifications in the selection process. The contract is structured for a three-year term with an option to renew for two additional years, to be conducted through the Kansas SMART Strategic Sourcing System. Bidders must request invitation at least 24 hours before the event's closing date and are subject to potential set-off programs and debarment provisions for unsatisfactory performance. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement covering multiple hatcheries and feed types suggests a significant contract value. The procurement will be conducted using US Dollars with FOB Destination Freight Prepaid terms, to be shipped via Common Carrier to the Pratt Headquarters located at 512 SE 25th Ave, Pratt, KS 67124.
