About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is soliciting bids for the purchase of five (5) new TGW4577-5 black bear tracking collars with specific technical requirements, including cast 1 and cast 5 and taper configurations. This is a no-substitute procurement due to compatibility requirements with existing DNR equipment, meaning vendors must provide the exact specified collar model. The solicitation is being conducted through the SWIFT electronic portal, with all responses required to be submitted electronically by September 23, 2024, at 2:00 PM CST. The DNR will be the sole determiner of whether vendors meet the technical specifications, and only one purchase order will be issued per vendor. Delivery of the collars is expected by September 24, 2024, with payment to be made after all items have been received and approved, and no partial payments will be allowed. Vendors are responsible for reviewing all attachments and complying with all requirements outlined in the solicitation documents.
The solicitation includes provisions for targeted group preferences, with Targeted Group, Economically Disadvantaged, and Veteran-Owned businesses receiving a 6% preference in the evaluation process. While the solicitation does not specify a precise budget range, it indicates that the cost of shipping must be included in the unit price. The procurement is open to all registered bidders and suppliers, with no explicit restrictions on business size or type beyond the preference points. The DNR has included questions in the solicitation related to bidder status as a small, minority-owned, or disadvantaged business, though these are for informational purposes only and not a requirement for award. The contract will cover the purchase of the tracking collars, with the DNR reserving the right to purchase similar items within six months at the original bid price. No incumbent vendor is mentioned in the documentation, and the procurement appears to be focused solely on the acquisition of specialized wildlife tracking equipment for the department's research and monitoring activities.
