WLD working cooperatively to implement Pheasant Release Prog

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for its Pheasant Release Program. The program will raise and release adult male pheasants on select public lands in Michigan's Lower Peninsula for hunting purposes. The selected Contractor will be responsible for all pheasant production, transportation, and release activities as directed by the DNR Wildlife Division. Releases are estimated to occur 1-2 times per week at 9-14 release sites, with an overall estimated 9,000-14,000 pheasants to be released. Proposals must be submitted by 9:30 a.m. Eastern on September 16, 2022, and the anticipated contract start date is October 1, 2022. Pricing will be firm for a 365-day period, with adjustments allowed based on changes in the Contractor's actual costs. The State will evaluate proposals on a pass/fail basis and award to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest price.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified. The RFP also does not provide any information on the possible award value or budget range for this procurement.
