About this opportunity
The U.S. Geological Survey issued a Notice of Intent on August 7, 2026, announcing a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to Biomark, Inc. for preloaded 12mm Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags, with capability statements from competing sources due August 10, 2026. The base requirement comprises 24,000 preloaded PIT tags with delivery required by August 31, 2026, to Flagstaff, Arizona, and two optional line items of 6,500 tags each with September delivery dates. Tags must comply with ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B specifications and be compatible with the Government's existing Biomark PIT scanners, tag guns, and autonomous antenna systems used in the Colorado River and Little Colorado River monitoring program. Market research supporting the sole-source determination found that other sources could not demonstrate the required read range, detectability, compatibility, or performance history necessary for this specialized application. Interested firms must submit capability statements by August 10, 2026, to Joel Berberena, Contracting Officer, at joel_berberena@ios.doi.gov. Submissions must include technical documentation demonstrating established or equivalent read range, detectability, and compatibility with Grand Canyon fisheries monitoring antenna systems; general ISO compliance alone is insufficient. Award is anticipated on or about August 17, 2026, subject to completion of the notice period and availability of funds.
