    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is seeking information from manufacturers capable of providing electrosedation equipment for the Toutle River Fish Collection Facility in Washington. The objective is to identify sources for equipment that can safely and effectively sedate fish for handling, tagging, transport, or surgical procedures, thereby minimizing stress and injury to anadromous fish populations affected by a sediment retention structure. This initiative is crucial for maintaining fish populations in the upper Toutle River basin, particularly following the ecological impacts of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. Interested parties must submit their responses by May 26, 2025, to Cory Pfenning at cory.r.pfenning@usace.army.mil, and are encouraged to provide detailed information about their capabilities, relevant experience, and product specifications.

    Sources Sought - Toutle RIver Fish Facility.pdf
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued a Sources Sought announcement to gather information on the availability and capabilities of manufacturers who can provide electrosedation equipment for fish. This request aims to ensure proper handling of anadromous fish populations, specifically in the context of the Toutle River Fish Collection Facility, which aids fish passage obstructed by a sediment retention structure created post-Mount St. Helens eruption. The required equipment must facilitate controlled sedation of fish with minimal stress and include various components such as a power source with adjustable electrical parameters, conductive electrodes, a control unit with safety features, and compatibility with water conductivity meters. The announcement emphasizes that it is for market research only and not a contract request. Responses are encouraged from small and large businesses, and interested parties must adhere to specified submission instructions detailing their qualifications and capabilities, with a response deadline of May 26, 2025. This initiative reflects the government's aim to explore solutions and inform future solicitations based on the industry's input.
