RFQ-2025-IDR6-001, Pheasants

The California state government is seeking live, healthy, male Ring neck Pheasants for hunt events scheduled between November 2025 and January 2026, as outlined in Request for Quotation RFQ-2025-IDR6-001. This procurement opportunity specifically requires vendors to supply pheasants that meet precise specifications, focusing exclusively on male birds in optimal health condition. The solicitation was posted on August 15, 2025, with proposals due by August 29, 2025, indicating a relatively tight two-week window for potential suppliers to prepare and submit their responses. Vendors must be prepared to deliver pheasants that can be used in organized hunt events, suggesting a need for high-quality, robust birds capable of meeting specific sporting and wildlife management requirements. The procurement appears to be managed directly by a California state agency responsible for wildlife management or recreational hunting programs.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to consistently supply live pheasants that meet the strict specifications. The contract likely represents a moderate-value procurement focused on supporting state-sponsored hunting events during the 2025-2026 hunting season. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget range was provided in the original solicitation. Interested suppliers will need to carefully review the full request for quotation to understand all technical and logistical requirements for pheasant delivery. Potential vendors should possess appropriate breeding facilities, transportation capabilities, and the ability to maintain bird health and quality throughout the procurement and delivery process. Interested parties are advised to thoroughly review all documentation and prepare comprehensive responses that demonstrate their ability to meet the state's precise requirements for live pheasant procurement.
