The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a purchase order to Innovasea Marine Systems Canada Inc. (doing business as Vemco) valued at $204,524.75 on June 11, 2026, for acoustic telemetry transmitters. Performance concludes by August 6, 2026. Work is performed in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The award is sole-sourced under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii) on continuity grounds. The Service has deployed Innovasea equipment since project initiation in 2024 to track endangered juvenile fish movement and survival over 15- to 30-month periods. Switching vendors would introduce calibration differences and data drift that compromise data integrity across the multi-year study. Innovasea's proprietary encrypted protocols and specialized equipment specifications are unique to the project's geography; transition would risk data corruption and potentially require replacement of an 80+ receiver array at over $1 million in additional cost. The originating special notice was posted June 3, 2026, with a statement-of-capabilities deadline of June 9, 2026.
