T3111 - Atlantic Coast Shellfish Habitat Enhancement - DFW

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of hard clam and oyster seed to support a large-scale restoration and enhancement program for shellfish stocks along the Atlantic coast of New Jersey. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) is seeking vendors to supply and deliver the seed over a three-year contract term. Vendors must have hatcheries located in the Mid-Atlantic region and can submit quotes for one or both seed types and any or all size ranges. The minimum order quantity is 100,000 seed, with no stated maximum. The state intends to award one primary, one secondary, and one tertiary blanket purchase order for each seed type and size range. Pricing will be evaluated based on a state-supplied price sheet, and the award will be made to the responsible vendors whose quotes are most advantageous to the state, price and other factors considered.

This contracting opportunity is set aside for small, woman-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. Vendors must self-identify as such if applicable. There are no incumbent vendors or current contractors listed, and the state has not provided any budget ranges or anticipated award values. Vendors are required to submit a Vendor (Bidder) Data Sheet to demonstrate their relevant experience and qualifications, and the state reserves the right to reject any proposal that fails to disclose necessary information.
