    The Idaho Fish and Wildlife Service Conservation Office (IFWCO) is seeking a sole source vendor, Jetco Machine and Fabrication, to fabricate an aluminum fish trap box for a resistance board weir installation for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe. This acquisition is urgent as the old trap box is unsuitable, and the project must be completed by February to collect steelhead this spring. Market research identified Jetco as the only qualified local contractor within 100 miles capable of meeting the project's specific requirements and timeline, given the remote location and lack of available aluminum welders. IFWCO has previously collaborated with Jetco for similar welding projects, ensuring their expertise in building fish-related items. The complexity and material specifications necessitate onsite visits during fabrication, further emphasizing the necessity of a nearby vendor. The document includes justifications for using sole source acquisition procedures and confirms the accuracy of the information provided. Ultimately, this initiative underscores the commitment to timely and effective collaboration with tribal entities for conservation efforts.
