About this opportunity

The Bureau of Land Management's Eastern Interior Field Office issued this sole source justification to acquire data delivery services for 23 Telonics GPS moose radiocollars from MetOcean Telematics, with the contract awarded on July 18, 2025 for an estimated value of $3,895.16. The procurement covers reimbursement of data fees incurred from October through mid-July 2026, providing essential GPS location, collar status, and temperature data for wildlife monitoring purposes. BLM justified the sole source award under 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) because MetOcean Telematics is the exclusive data management partner chosen by Telonics, the collar manufacturer, making them the only available provider capable of processing the GPS-Iridium location data from these specific radiocollars. Market research confirmed that no alternative sources exist for obtaining the required data, as Telonics directly partnered with MetOcean as their sole service provider for data collection and management. The contract replaces the existing monthly billing system and will continue data collection operations through mid-July 2026, with BLM indicating no immediate plans to replace their current inventory of Telonics radiocollars.
