Marion Forks Minto Fish Transfer Pump

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking to procure an auto-priming, cart-mounted, electric fish pumping system for the Marion Forks Fish Hatchery located in Idanha, Marion County, Oregon. The primary objective is to acquire a specialized pump capable of transferring small Chinook salmon between ponds efficiently and safely. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) specifies detailed technical requirements for the pumping system, including specific components, dimensions, and electrical specifications. Vendors are permitted to propose alternate products that meet or exceed the outlined requirements, with ODFW reserving the right to determine product equivalency. The bid submission deadline is April 11, 2024, at 2:00 PM, with bids to be submitted via email, mail, or fax. Vendors must hold their pricing firm for 30 days and provide a delivery schedule, with the system required to be delivered no later than April 25, 2024. The procurement process allows for comparative evaluation of submitted proposals based on meeting the technical specifications and delivery requirements.

The contract opportunity encourages participation from diverse businesses and suggests vendors explore the state's Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) program. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the RFQ indicates an openness to inclusive procurement practices. The solicitation does not mention incumbent vendors or specific budget constraints, though the purchase order suggests the procurement will follow standard state purchasing protocols. Potential bidders are advised to register in the OregonBuys supplier registration system to receive bid notices and respond to solicitations. The procurement involves federal terms and conditions, as evidenced by the attached USACE Terms for Contracts document, which implies potential additional compliance requirements for contractors. Vendors should carefully review all documentation, including federal acquisition regulations and supplemental clauses that may impact the contract's execution.
