Rainbow Trout Public Stocking

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is seeking proposals to establish a multi-year contract for the purchase and delivery of Rainbow Trout to various locations across the state. The contract term is for one year with two one-year renewal options, through June 30, 2027. The successful vendor must provide a minimum of 9-inch trout, with 10% by weight exceeding 14 inches but not 25 inches, and deliver the approximately 63,392 pounds of trout annually to 11 designated locations on a 2-3 week schedule. Vendors must have a minimum 5-year history of trout production reliability and allow facility inspections. The contract will be awarded based on the vendor's ability to meet the specifications, pricing, and references. The solicitation has a posted due date of September 20, 2024, with questions due by September 6 and requests for administrative review due by August 27.

The contract does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the type of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. The total contract value is not specified, but the pricing sheet indicates the State is seeking a fixed unit cost per delivery for the full three-year period. Federal funds may be utilized for this procurement, and the State is exempt from sales, use, and excise taxes.
