About this opportunity
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Colombia River Research Laboratory has issued a Special Notice for a federal contract opportunity involving specialized floating detection arrays for tracking juvenile salmonid passage. The contract, identified by ID 706335a90e99471386dd52caf9c22f1e, is seeking custom-designed floating platforms with advanced PIT-tag detection capabilities. Specifically, the USGS requires two distinct floating arrays to be positioned downstream of Foster Dam and one array downstream of Green Peter Dam. The agency is pursuing this contract under the procedures of FAR Part 12 and Part 13.5, focusing on the acquisition of commercial items. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS Code 334511 for search, detection, navigation, and nautical system manufacturing.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit written responses via email to the Contracting Officer, Victor Nuno, at vnuno@usgs.gov by May 27, 2025. The contract is set aside for small businesses with less than 1,350 employees, targeting manufacturers capable of creating specialized floating arrays with specific technical requirements. For the Foster Dam arrays, the USGS seeks a barge with vertically oriented fin antennas that can pivot and be remotely raised or lowered, designed to deploy from a cross-channel skyline with lateral movement capabilities. The Green Peter Dam array requires a different approach due to shallow river conditions, necessitating a floating matrix antenna array with shore-mounted transceiver controls. The solicitation, numbered 140G0325Q0119, will be available through the Government-wide Point of Entry on or about May 28, 2025, conforming to the requirements established through FAC 2025-03.
Notice text
Synopsis:
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Colombia River Research Laboratory requires floating PIT-tag detection arrays with transceivers that can detect 134.2 kHz Full- and Half-duplex PIT tags and can power multiple antennas. Two floating arrays are desired downstream of Foster Dam to provide route specific data for juvenile salmonid passage. Best design for these two arrays is a barge with fin antennas. Fin antennas are oriented vertically in the water column and can pivot upward to shed debris or for maintenance. Fins should be capable of being raised and lowered remotely. The barge itself should be a platform for housing transceiver controls and power. One floating array is desired downstream of Green Peter Dam. Due to the shallow nature of the river, a fin system is not practical, but a floating matrix antenna array can operate at the range of water depths at this site due to rapid changes in dam discharge. Transceiver control and power system will be shore mounted for the matrix antenna and the transceiver control and wiring should allow for possible expansion to additional matrix or bottom mounted antennas. The arrays we require at both sites need to be designed and equipped to deploy from a cross-channel skyline with ability to move laterally for maintenance or prevention of flood damage.
The USGS is contemplating a single, firm-fixed price order in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 12, entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13.5, entitled, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items.
Solicitation 140G0325Q0119 will be made available through the Government-wide Point of Entry (GPE) on or about May 28, 2025 IAW FAR 5.102(a)(1). All responses must be in writing by email to the Contracting Officer at vnuno@usgs.gov.
This notice and any resulting solicitation or contract conforms to the requirements in place through FAC 2025-03, effective 17 January 2025.
For further information, please contact the Contracting officer vnuno@usgs.gov
