About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Communications Branch published a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award regarding the purchase of acoustic telemetry transmitters. The agency intends to award a firm fixed price sole source contract to INNOVASEA Systems, INC. for the acquisition of acoustic telemetry transmitters compatible with equipment currently used by USFWS and USGS.
The Special Notice aims to procure acoustic telemetry transmitters from INNOVASEA Systems, INC. to maintain an existing telemetry network in the Mississippi River tracking invasive carp movement. Interested parties had until January 4, 2024 to submit capability statements for consideration, however the notice recommends a sole source award given current equipment investments by partner agencies in Vemco's proprietary system deployed in the network. While the opportunity is not formally soliciting competitive quotes, any party believing they could meet requirements was instructed to submit an written statement of capabilities by the specified deadline detailing how their product or service ensures continuity of the critical multi-agency monitoring program.
