C-Lock GreenFeed System - Large Animal

The University of Wyoming is seeking to procure a C-Lock GreenFeed System for Large Animal research through a sole source purchase order. The system is designed to measure metabolic gas emissions (Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, and Hydrogen) from individual animals, specifically cattle and potentially other large animal species. The GreenFeed system can track approximately 20 animals per day, with feed quantities ranging from 200 grams to 8 kg per animal daily, and has the capability to accurately measure CO2 flux greater than 1,000 g/d and CH4 flux greater than 60 g/d. The procurement is specific to Albany County, Wyoming, and is structured as a sole source notification with an opportunity for alternative vendors to demonstrate comparable capabilities. Interested parties must submit electronic responses through BidNet's portal by 2:00 PM Mountain Time on August 1, 2025. The University will serve as the sole evaluator of submissions, reviewing quality, performance, and price, and retains full discretion to determine whether to proceed with a competitive solicitation based on received statements of capabilities.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations mentioned in the documentation. The sole source notification indicates that while C-Lock is the preferred vendor, the University is open to reviewing alternative proposals from vendors who can provide comparable systems. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documentation. The procurement appears focused on research infrastructure for measuring animal metabolic emissions, with the system being a specialized scientific instrument. Vendors submitting responses are advised that any confidential or proprietary information must be clearly marked and separately packaged from other response materials. The University will use its internal evaluation criteria to assess the technical capabilities, performance metrics, and potential alignment with research objectives of any submitted alternative solutions.
