ODFW Shop Steel

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting an intermediate procurement for shop steel materials specific to the Lyda Fishway project located in Wasco County. The procurement involves purchasing various stainless steel components including sheets, angles, channels, tubing, pipes, and flat bars with specific dimensional requirements for fish passage infrastructure construction. Vendors must submit bids by February 20, 2023, at 2:00 PM through mail, email, or fax, with materials required to be delivered no later than March 23, 2023. Bidders must be registered in the OregonBuys system and can submit alternate bids for products meeting or exceeding specified requirements. The solicitation process follows Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR 125-047-0270) and will result in a Purchase Order, with the agency explicitly stating they will not accept protests. Key deliverables include pre-bent stainless steel sections for a fishway structure approximately 34 feet in length, with detailed specifications provided in accompanying engineering drawings.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, but vendors are encouraged to obtain certification through the Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) program. While no specific budget range is provided, the detailed material lists suggest a moderate-scale procurement focusing on specialized stainless steel components. No incumbent vendors are identified, and the solicitation does not indicate restrictions on organizational types beyond standard OregonBuys registration requirements. The procurement appears focused on technical specifications and material quality rather than socioeconomic criteria. Pricing must be held firm for 30 days, and the agency retains sole discretion in award decisions. The project is specifically tied to fish passage infrastructure improvements in the 15 Mile Creek area, indicating a critical environmental and infrastructural objective for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
