About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service has published a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract to INNOVASEA SYSTEMS, INC. for the supply of fish tags and related equipment. This special notice, posted on April 16, 2026, indicates that the agency intends to make a sole source purchase order rather than conduct a competitive bidding process. The procurement falls under the Communications Equipment Manufacturing industry classification (NAICS 334290) and will be processed as a simplified acquisition under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13. The contract value is expected to remain below the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.
Interested parties have three calendar days from the publication date to submit evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government and to identify their capability to respond to this requirement. The procurement includes various fish tags from Innovasea's PPR Line, acoustic receivers, external case range tags, and associated shipping and handling services for both Wildlife/Aquatic Invasive Species (WIL/AIS) and Carbon/Aquatic Invasive Species (CARB/AIS) programs. Eligible contractors must meet the 800-employee size standard for the NAICS category and demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of competitive advantage. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received, and interested parties will receive no reimbursement for providing capability information. Inquiries should be directed to Jack Skogen, the designated point of contact for this procurement.
