The U.S. Geological Survey's Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) awarded a $40,055.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order contract to Lotek Wireless Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of wildlife monitoring systems and telemetry devices. The contract is for the supply of 101 dual-technology acoustic and radio tags to be used in a fish telemetry study near a dam in the Cuyahoga River. The tags must be compatible with the existing Innovasea acoustic receivers and Lotek radio receivers, and provide real-time sensor data on temperature, pressure/depth, and bi-modal motion. This procurement was not set aside for any specific business category, but the agency encouraged participation from small businesses, including HUBZone, 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned, and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned firms. The contract has an ultimate completion date of March 7, 2025.
