Hatcheries

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Fish and Game, is establishing a Master Blanket Agreement (MBA) to procure a wide range of fisheries and aquaculture goods and services for its five hatchery facilities. The agreement will be open‑ended, allowing contractors to submit price lists and discount schedules for items such as hatchery equipment, water‑treatment systems, monitoring instruments, consumables, and related repair/maintenance services. The procurement is a non‑statewide, open bid (blanket) solicitation with SBPP eligibility preference and will remain in effect through December 2027, with possible renewal extensions. • Scope includes tanks, filters, instrumentation, repair/maintenance, laboratory supplies, and education outreach kits for hatchery and stocking operations. • Contractors must provide a pricing list showing manufacturer list prices and percentage discounts; most contracts are expected to be under $10 k per year per contractor. • SBPP and Supplier Diversity preferences apply; vendors must be registered in the Massachusetts Small Business Purchasing Program and may need to meet diversity spend requirements.
