Fish Transport Tank and Trailer, GFP

The state of South Dakota, specifically the Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) agency, is seeking a vendor to deliver a completed and ready-to-use Fish Transport Tank and Trailer for Day County. The procurement opportunity, posted on August 18, 2022, with a response deadline of August 31, 2022, requires a turn-key solution for a trailer-mounted fish distribution tank with precise specifications. The tank must feature two 275 to 300-gallon compartments and meet detailed construction requirements, including specific guidelines for tank design, drainage systems, and oxygen delivery mechanisms. Prospective bidders are mandated to contact Todd Kaufman, the agency contact, prior to construction to review the specifications outlined in the "Specifications Fish Transport Final.pdf" document. Evaluation will likely focus on the vendor's ability to meet the technical specifications, with award determination based on the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, in accordance with the State of South Dakota's Office of Procurement Management vendor guidelines.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions are explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, vendors must comply with South Dakota's procurement policies, including mandatory vendor registration with a $50 annual fee and corporate registration with the Secretary of State. The procurement favors resident businesses and South Dakota-manufactured goods, which may provide a competitive advantage to local vendors. No incumbent vendor information is disclosed, and no specific budget range or award value is provided for this fish transport tank and trailer procurement. Interested vendors should carefully review the detailed specifications and be prepared to demonstrate technical compliance with the GFP agency's requirements. Successful bidders will need to provide a fully operational fish transport tank and trailer that meets the precise technical specifications outlined in the procurement documents.
