About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

San Bernardino County Regional Parks Department is soliciting bids for a live catfish procurement contract through an Invitation to Bid (ITB No. PARKS26-PARKS-6215), seeking approximately 35,000 to 85,000 pounds of catfish for stocking in five regional parks: Cucamonga-Guasti, Glen Helen, Mojave Narrows, Prado, and Yucaipa Regional Parks. The fish must be delivered from May through September 2026, with stocking occurring on Thursdays or Fridays, excluding holidays. Specific fish specifications require grading by size: 35 percent averaging one pound, 35 percent averaging 1.5 to 2 pounds, and 30 percent averaging over 2 pounds, with all fish expected to be healthy and transported in aerated tank trucks. The ITB was released on January 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM PST, with questions due by January 12, 2026, at 4:30 PM PST, and final bids due February 9, 2026, at 4:30 PM PST through the County's electronic procurement system or by sealed envelope. Bidders will be evaluated based on pricing submitted on a per-unit basis, with FOB destination pricing and separate freight charges, and the County will apply a 5 percent local vendor preference for businesses with a principal place of business within San Bernardino County.

The procurement opportunity includes several key compliance requirements for potential bidders, including mandatory registration with the California Secretary of State, submission of completed IRS W-9 forms, and compliance with prevailing wage regulations as outlined in the attached documents. Contractors must adhere to California Labor Code provisions, including posting prevailing wage schedules, maintaining certified payroll records, and registering with the Department of Industrial Relations. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The contract is for the 2026 season only, with a tentative award date in March 2026 and a Net 60 days payment term after acceptance of the live catfish. While a specific budget range is not provided, the procurement covers a substantial volume of fish across five regional parks, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. Bidders must also complete a Local Vendor Preference Self-Certification and comply with various certifications regarding debarment, criminal history, independent pricing, and cost/pricing data accuracy.
