B--Notice of Intent to Sole Source Otolith Analysis RFP
This active special notice concerns a commercial-services requirement for highly specialized otolith and scale analysis supporting ESA-listed spring Chinook Salmon life-history studies, rather than a grant program. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service intends to pursue a sole-source contract for preparation, processing, and analysis of up to 400 adult Entiat summer Chinook otoliths using laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and related methods. The notice is not a request for quotations or proposals, but responsible sources may submit a capability statement to the contracting officer by August 10, 2026, at 8:00 AM Pacific Time.
