About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service awarded a sole-source contract to C-LOCK Inc. on September 9, 2026, for one GreenFeed Dual-Bin Free-Stall automated gas-measurement system configured with H2, O2, CO2, and CH4 sensors, RFID reader capability, and integrated weather station, for $61,250.
The system collects real-time metabolic gas emissions and environmental data to calculate gas flux from open-grazing livestock, supporting research at the ARS Oklahoma and Central Plains Agricultural Research Center. Award was made under Total Small Business set-aside. The sole-source justification under FAR 6.302(c)(1) rests on C-LOCK Inc. as the sole manufacturer and distributor of GreenFeed systems; market research verified no alternative distributors or equivalent products capable of measuring all required respiratory gases nonintrusively from open-grazing livestock exist. The Government's research mission requires the unique technical capabilities of this system.
