140F1G23Q0001 universities (including the USGS, US Army Corps of Engineers, Missouri Department of

Conservation, Illinois DNR, and Minnesota DNR) to monitor the behavior of invasive carp in the

Upper Mississippi River and its largest tributaries resulting in a telemetry monitoring network of Vemco telemetry receivers that cover most of the lengths of this large river system and include thousands of fish implanted with

Vemco transmitters that are currently being monitored by this network integrating seamlessly with the existing network of Vemco telemetry equipment in the river.

In essence, obtaining competition is not possible due to the proprietary coding used on Vemco equipment. Currently, no other vendor has access to the proprietary design of Vemco telemetry signal coding components. Thus, no other vendor can supply the required ultrasonic telemetry capable of interacting with the existing Vemco telemetry system in the Upper Mississippi River.

Vemco does not have authorized resellers.

Innovasea is the sole developer, manufacturer, and supplier of the Vemco line of acoustic telemetry receivers, transmitters, receiver upgrades and receiver accessories and all associated software.

The NAICS code is 334290 - Other Communications

Equipment Manufacturing. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotes; however, all responsible sources may submit a quotation and technical capabilities, which, if received within seven (7) calendar days of publication of this notice, shall be considered by FWS. All responses must be submitted by email to Deborah

Florio at deborah_florio@fws.gov. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the

Government.
