The New Mexico Department of Wildlife is seeking vendors to provide all‑female triploid rainbow trout eggs to its six state hatcheries and other department properties. The contract will be a one‑year price agreement (with up to three optional one‑year extensions) covering quarterly shipments of eggs that meet strict quality and health standards. Vendors must be able to produce eggs with ≤ 400 eggs per ounce, ≥ 95 % triploid induction, and must provide disease‑free certifications for a list of pathogens. Shipments must be made via next‑day express service in new insulated containers, with at least 48 hours pre‑shipment notice and written delivery confirmation. The award will be based on lowest total cost and ability to meet the minimum requirements, and multiple vendors may be awarded to ensure supply continuity. • Supply all‑female triploid rainbow trout eggs meeting ≤ 400 eggs/oz and ≥ 95 % triploid induction. • Provide quarterly shipments to six NMDOW hatcheries, using express next‑day service and new insulated containers. • Submit disease‑free certifications (covering five listed pathogens) and triploid‑induction test results (every ≤ 2 months). • Maintain active SAM registration for the duration of the contract and include freight cost per 1,000 eggs in the price proposal. • Contract term: 1 year with up to three one‑year extensions; price adjustments allowed once per year, max 10 % increase.
