About this opportunity
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) at the Department of the Interior published a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract on March 4, 2026. This notice announces the agency's intention to award a sole source purchase order to Dune Technologies for the procurement of an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) system and related equipment. The acquisition is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures pursuant to FAR Part 13.106-1(b) and does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. The classified NAICS code for this requirement is 334513 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing), with a small business size standard of 750 employees. This notice represents the government's determination that only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's specific operational requirements.
The FWS Ludington Biological Station seeks to procure a RiverPro 1200kHz ADCP system with associated software and a Trimaran float vessel for hydrologic measurement and discharge calculations in the Sea Lamprey Control Program. Interested parties have three calendar days from the notice publication date (until March 11, 2026) to submit evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government; however, the government retains sole discretion to proceed with or without competition. Eligible respondents must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of their capability and competitive advantage, though market research has already established that the RiverPro is uniquely compatible with existing USGS technical support infrastructure and analytical tools at Ludington Biological Station. No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information in response to this notice.
