About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source purchase order to Biomark Inc. for the procurement of Biomark APT12 Pre-Load Tray EU equipment. The Naval Research Laboratory intends to make this award under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for purchases not exceeding $250,000, with the acquisition falling under NAICS code 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). This is not a competitive solicitation or request for proposals, and no solicitation package is available. The agency has determined that only one responsible source exists that can satisfy their specific requirements. The notice was posted on June 16, 2025, and interested parties have until June 27, 2025, to respond.
The purpose of this sole source procurement is to acquire specialized equipment necessary for fish monitoring operations, specifically PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder) tags used for marking hatchery fish in the Columbia River Basin before release. Interested parties who believe they can provide competitive alternatives have three calendar days from the publication date to submit their capability information to the point of contact, Jack Skogen. Any response must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, though the decision to proceed with competitive procurement remains solely at the Government's discretion. The agency conducted market research and determined that only a few companies produce compatible PIT tags meeting their specific physical requirements of 12.0-12.5 mm length and 0.115g weight. Companies interested in responding must show they can meet these technical specifications and compatibility requirements with existing infrastructure, though no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information.
