About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced on June 25, 2026, its intent to award a sole-source, firm fixed price contract to Holohil Systems Limited for 60 radio transmitters under FAR subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii), with a response deadline of July 1, 2026. The sole-source justification rests on Holohil's exclusive capability to manufacture special brass housing that resists destruction by parrot beaks—a requirement no competing manufacturer meets. The transmitters support the Puerto Rican Parrot Recovery Program for parrots slated for release at El Yunque National Forest and Maricao State Forest. Holohil products have been in continuous use since 2000; the Service conducted no market research based on over 23 years of successful operational history and determined that purchasing from competitors would compromise quality and durability. The contracting authority cites FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) for follow-on requirements from the original specialized source to avoid unacceptable mission delays. NAICS 334220, PSC 7G22. Interested parties may submit a written statement of capabilities with clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government by July 1, 2026.
