The United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1 plans to award using other than full and open competition to Big Eagle and Associates 850 Washington Street, Red Bluff, CA 96080-0809, for fish tagging, management and reporting. This source is required to ensure that all tagging procedures are compatible and interchangeable effecting continuity of efforts, analysis, and assessment of programs with The U.S Fish & Wildlife Office in Stockton, California (STFWO) Chinook salmon reared at the Feather river Fish Hatchery. Big Eagle and Associates is currently under contract with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) to provide all of DWR's and DFG's tagging needs at the Feather River Fish Hatchery.
