The contract is a one‑year, non‑renewable agreement where the vendor must deliver the fish F.O.B. destination, meet strict health, size, and temperature requirements, and provide on‑site stocking equipment. Bids are evaluated on a price‑per‑pound basis with the lowest‑priced responsive bidder awarded each regional portion. • Total potential volume: up to 23,500 lb of live channel catfish (regional break‑downs provided). • Two deliveries per lake (October 2026 and April 2027); vendor must notify TWRA ≥ 3 business days before each delivery and complete shipments within 30 days of PO receipt. • Vendor must supply ≥ 50 % of the fish weight from its own production and certify compliance with health, tax, licensing, insurance, and non‑adversary certifications.
