Summary

This document is a Specifications sheet from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's Lower Mississippi River Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office, located in Basom, NY. The office seeks to procure 2 backpack electrofishers to support mission-critical aquatic habitat restoration work. The electrofishers must be capable of storing GPS coordinates, electrical input and output data, warning codes, and performance information throughout sampling efforts. The units require onscreen active waveform visualization, output performance graphs, GPS coordinate display, and an alarm mode to notify users of user-defined effort limits. A USB port must be available for downloading sampling data and uploading software updates.

The backpack electrofishers must feature programmable waveform output to minimize potential harm to fish while optimizing effectiveness, with extensive waveform selection capabilities to accommodate varying stream conditions and target species. Critical safety features include an emergency stop switch with dual audible alarms, tilt and immersion sensors, and an Anode-Out-of-Water sensor that automatically deactivates the electrofisher output during dangerous situations. No pricing terms, response dates, award dates, contract vehicles, or other procurement timeline information is provided in this specifications document.
