Perforated Stainless Steel Plate for Fish Screen Systems

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting an intermediate procurement for 800 linear feet of perforated stainless steel plate for fish screen systems under solicitation number S-63500-00015293. The specific procurement requires Type 304 stainless steel plate in 16 gauge (0.0625" thickness) with round 3/32" diameter perforations arranged in a staggered pattern with 5/32" center spacing and 33% open area. The material will be procured in four width configurations: 200 feet each of 2-foot, 3-foot, 4-foot, and 5-foot wide stock, with a preference for roll format (100 ft or 200 ft lengths) and sheets of minimum 10-foot length accepted as an alternative. Bidders must submit quotes via email to ODFW.Bids@ODFW.oregon.gov by November 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with delivery required to the John Day Screen Shop located at 357 Patterson Bridge Road, John Day, OR 97845 on or before December 30, 2025. To be considered, vendors must be registered in OregonBuys and complete the mandatory bid proposal form, with pricing to be held firm for a minimum of 30 days from submission.

The solicitation indicates potential opportunities for certification through Oregon's Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID), suggesting possible set-aside or preference considerations for diverse businesses. Vendors with a COBID certification number are encouraged to include this information in their bid. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as a purchase order that will incorporate standard state and federal terms and conditions. The solicitation falls under an intermediate procurement process (OAR 125-047-0270), which notably precludes the acceptance of protests. Bidders must comply with federal grant contract requirements, including provisions related to labor standards, environmental compliance, equal employment opportunity, and debarment screening. Interested suppliers should carefully review the attached documents, including the federal terms for contracts under federal grants, to ensure full compliance with all regulatory requirements. The total procurement value is not disclosed, but the specifications suggest a focused, technical procurement for specialized fish screen system components.
