About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification Letter from Innovasea, dated February 24, 2026, supporting a state and local contract opportunity for Mississippi to procure Innovasea transponders and receivers. The letter establishes that Innovasea is the exclusive developer, manufacturer, and supplier of the Vemco line of acoustic telemetry receivers, transmitters, receiver upgrades, receiver accessories, and associated software. Innovasea's proprietary technology and coding techniques are not based on open standards and enable interoperability among over 25,000 Vemco receivers deployed globally and more than 100,000 transmitters. The Vemco tag ID database, which is critical for successful operation of acoustic telemetry studies, is solely owned and managed by Innovasea.
Vemco monitoring receivers and coded transmitters are warranted exclusively for operation with other Vemco products, and all support services—including study advice, data analysis, VR2W Positioning System data analysis, false detection analysis, and foreign ID tag ownership determination—can only be provided by Innovasea for datasets generated using the complete Vemco acoustic telemetry system. Innovasea is the sole proprietor for repairs, which are performed exclusively at its Nova Scotia production facility using factory-certified parts and techniques. This justification supports the sole-source procurement approach for the contract opportunity, as the proprietary nature of the technology and the integrated system requirements create a situation where only Innovasea can provide the necessary products and associated support services.

Sole Source Justification
Dear Customer, This is to confirm that the following statements are true.
1. 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.
2. Vemco coded transmitters and monitoring receivers use Innovasea owned proprietary technology and coding techniques. These are not based on an open standard. This technology provides vast numbers of unique tag IDs to allow for interoperability and compatibility of over 25,000 Vemco receivers deployed worldwide and over 100,000 transmitters.
3. Vemco tag IDs and deployments are managed through the Vemco tag ID database which is solely owned and accessible by Innovasea. The Innovasea tag ID database is critical to the successful operation of Vemco acoustic telemetry studies.
4. Vemco monitoring receivers and coded transmitters are only warranted to operate with Vemco products. All Vemco support services including study advice, data analysis, VR2W Positioning System (VPS) data analysis, false detection analysis, determining foreign ID tag ownership etc., can only be provided to users with datasets generated using the complete Vemco acoustic telemetry system as we are unable to validate nor analyze detection files from other manufacturers’ receivers or transmitters.
5. Innovasea is the sole proprietor for repairs. All repairs are performed at our Nova Scotia production facility. The repair of the Vemco sensors is completed using factory certified parts and factory certified techniques.
Sincerely, Amy Brookman General Manager
