About this IDV
Wildlife Acoustics, Inc., headquartered in Maynard, Massachusetts, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $0.00 ceiling (with a stated $3.5 million authorization across all task orders) by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region on September 4, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025. The primary deliverable under this indefinite delivery vehicle is the Song Meter SM4 acoustic recorder, an autonomous recording device currently available only from Wildlife Acoustics. No set-aside designation was utilized for this award. The BPA establishes a standing contract mechanism enabling the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region and affiliated federal agencies—including the Forest Service Research Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region, and related interior agencies—to procure specialized acoustic monitoring equipment and associated products on an as-needed basis through individual task orders and calls.
The contract supports the federal government's wildlife research, conservation, and natural resource management initiatives across Pacific Northwest national forests and public lands through provision of Song Meter SM4 recorders, complementary equipment including microphones, rechargeable batteries, battery chargers, and Kaleidoscope Pro software. Task orders issued under the BPA reflect firm fixed-price and labor-hour pricing structures with individual call values ranging from approximately $16,000 to $500,000, deployed to multiple performance locations including Springfield, Corvallis, Bend, and other Oregon and Washington communities. The acoustic monitoring equipment enables non-invasive bioacoustic surveys for avian population monitoring, habitat assessments, endangered species tracking (including northern spotted owl surveys), and broader biodiversity monitoring efforts supporting the Forest Service's long-term natural resource management and research objectives across the Pacific Northwest region.
