About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting a sole source procurement for a Broadband Acoustic Tracking System (BATS) manufactured by EdgeTech, specifically for marine ROV surveys. The procurement covers a comprehensive acoustic tracking system that includes a BATS processor/console, hydrophone, beacons, motion sensor, and associated cables, designed to provide precise positioning data for two underwater beacons simultaneously at distances up to 1,500 meters. This specialized system is intended to support underwater seafloor surveys and requires specific technical capabilities that make it unique in the marketplace. The procurement is being conducted pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute 279B.075 and Oregon Administrative Rule 125-247-0275, with jurisdictions including Lincoln County and the City of Newberg. The sole source notice was posted on March 2, 2023, with protest submissions due by March 9, 2023, at 2:00 pm, which can be submitted online via OregonBuys or through email to ODFW.
The procurement appears to be a direct purchase without competitive bidding due to the unique specifications of the BATS system and its exclusive distribution by EdgeTech in the United States. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were mentioned in the documentation. The estimated procurement value is $67,100 for a single system purchase. The procurement is driven by the need for compatibility with existing ODFW marine program software, equipment, and survey methodology, with no alternative vendors identified that can meet the technical requirements. There are no indications of disadvantaged enterprise provisions or specific vendor diversity requirements. The system will be integrated into the existing ODFW marine research infrastructure, with the primary objective of enhancing underwater tracking capabilities during remotely operated vehicle seafloor surveys.
