About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service has published a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract to OTT HydroMet Corp for water monitoring equipment. This notice announces the agency's intent to procure specialized surface velocity radars, water level sensors, data loggers, telemetry equipment, and associated mounting hardware without competition. The Naval Research Laboratory is identified as the procuring entity, though the equipment will be used by the Fish and Wildlife Service for water monitoring operations. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334513 for measuring instruments manufacturing and will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 for purchases under $250,000. The notice explicitly states this is not a solicitation or request for competitive proposals.
The purpose of this sole source procurement is to install water monitoring equipment at six water control structures on the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge to monitor water diversions and return flows to the Great Salt Lake, funded by the Great Salt Lake Watershed Enhancement Trust. Interested parties have until June 27, 2025, at 5:00 PM Central Time to respond if they believe they can provide the required capabilities and that competition would benefit the government. Responses must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competitive procurement would be advantageous, and the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with sole source or competitive procurement. The Fish and Wildlife Service justifies the sole source approach based on OTT HydroMet's unique ability to provide an integrated package of compatible equipment, existing workflow familiarity, and approved software systems that would avoid potential compatibility issues and IT approval delays associated with alternative vendors.
