About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office (FWS) has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source purchase order to Frontier Precision for a specialized YellowScan Mapper+ Laser Scanner system. The procurement is for a comprehensive unmanned aerial system (UAS) with LIDAR sensor capabilities, intended for various environmental monitoring and survey activities. The notice explicitly states this is not a competitive solicitation, but a direct award to a specific vendor. The contract will be executed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures and falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334519, with a size standard of 600 employees. The total procurement value is expected to be under the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.
Contractors interested in responding to this notice have three calendar days from publication to demonstrate their capabilities and provide evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The specific equipment being procured includes a YellowScan Mapper+ (version 3) laser scanner, a 26MP camera module, GNSS-inertial board, software licenses for trajectory correction and data processing, and associated accessories like battery chargers and transport backpack. The primary objective appears to be acquiring specialized equipment for ground condition surveys, permit requirements, ecological monitoring, and restoration activities. Potential respondents must submit their capabilities directly to Jack Skogen via email, with a clear demonstration of competitive advantage. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on received responses, and no reimbursement will be provided for preparing capability information.
