About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Communications Branch has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Holohil Systems Ltd., a Canadian company. The contract is for the procurement of specialized parrot transmitters under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii). The notice pertains to purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), where contracting officers may solicit from a single source when only one source is reasonably available. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 7G22. The specific focus is on radio transmitters that have been crucial to the Puerto Rican Parrot Recovery Program since 2000.
The primary objective of this sole source award is to acquire parrot transmitters with unique durability characteristics that can withstand parrot beaking behaviors. While the notice is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit a statement of capabilities if they believe they can provide a more advantageous solution to the government. Any capability statements must be submitted in writing via email to deborah_florio@fws.gov as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment by January 24, 2025. Respondents must provide clear and convincing evidence of their competitive advantage, understanding that any costs associated with preparing and submitting documentation are solely the responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the government. Telephone requests or offers will not be considered. The specific requirement highlights Holohil's transmitters' exceptional resistance to parrot preening behaviors, which have proven more durable than other manufacturers' casings in the Puerto Rican Parrot Recovery Program.
