The statement must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. No telephone requests or offers will be considered, and any costs associated with preparing and submitting documentation are the sole responsibility of the respondent. The Government emphasizes that this notice is not a competitive solicitation but an intent to award, with the primary objective of acquiring specialized InnovaSea Vemco Transmitters. Potential respondents should carefully review the technical requirements and understand that the agency is seeking a firm fixed price contract under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The notice provides an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capability to meet the specific technical and compatibility requirements of the Fish and Wildlife Service's equipment needs.
