The Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a purchase order to Vertebrate Systems LLC for $15,350.30 on July 29, 2026, under a Total Small Business set-aside for GPS/GSM wildlife telemetry transmitters. Work is performed in San Diego, California, with ultimate completion by October 23, 2026. The order procures ten Ornitela OrniTrack transmitters (four six-gram units and six ten-gram units) for a Cooper's hawk demographic study in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with deployment scheduled for July and 2027. The transmitters must weigh less than 3% of the hawk's body weight and provide reliable battery life and international data connectivity, as some hawks migrate to Mexico. Market research identified Ornitela as the sole capable source; alternative manufacturers were evaluated but proved unsuitable due to past connectivity failures in Mexico and lack of comparable transmission capabilities for the target species. The sole-source justification was certified on May 8, 2026, and approved on June 3, 2026. The order is Firm Fixed Price.
