Wildlife Acoustic Recorders

The Arizona Game and Fish Department's Master Agreement CTR063500 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on procuring acoustic audio recorders and associated security mounting brackets. Specifically designed for wildlife management research, the contract enables the acquisition of Wildlife Acoustics Song Meter Mini Acoustic Recorders capable of recording bird and animal audio calls. These specialized devices are intended to support wildlife monitoring and research activities, with the initial procurement targeting 30 recorders and corresponding mounting brackets. The IDV allows for flexible ordering of these acoustic monitoring instruments to support the department's scientific and conservation efforts.

Wildlife Acoustics Inc. is the prime contractor for this master agreement, which was originally awarded on December 13, 2022, by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The contract is a fixed-price vehicle with a one-year base term and the potential for extensions up to 48 months in 12-month increments. Currently, the contract has been renewed through December 13, 2026, covering the state of Arizona. While the initial order was valued at $16,440 (30 recorders at $499 each and 30 mounting brackets at $49 each), the IDV provides flexibility for additional purchases. The contract is competitively solicited and restricted to small businesses, with comprehensive liability insurance coverage provided by New England Insurance Group.
