About this opportunity
Colorado Parks and Wildlife, a division of the Department of Natural Resources, is issuing a Notice of Proposed Sole Source for approximately 1.8 million viable Rainbow Trout eggs annually under FY27-PMAA-4210-TROUTLODGE FISH EGGS, with a response due date of September 1, 2026. The procurement is designated sole source based on Troutlodge's proprietary Kamloop and Jumper strains, selectively bred over multiple generations and optimized for CPW's hatchery operations over the past decade.
CPW requires eggs supplied on a purchase-order basis beginning as soon as practicable. The supply window is April through September, when state and federal hatcheries cannot supply them. CPW aquatic biologists have validated Troutlodge's strains for disease resistance, growth rates, rearing densities, and feed conversion characteristics; their performance in the wild has been observed and confirmed.
The contract term is four years, ending June 30, 2030, with no renewal options noted. The estimated procurement value is approximately $205,000 over the four-year period. Place of performance is Colorado state-managed hatcheries.
CPW's justification for sole source status emphasizes that alternative Rainbow Trout strains would require significant operational adjustments to rearing cycles and would forfeit over ten years of hatchery staff optimization work. Other vendors may submit a one-page cover letter to challenge the sole source status and demonstrate alternative capabilities.
