DT-X Extreme Autonomous Echo Sounder Surface Unit and Accessories

This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) for the procurement of a Biosonics DTX Echosounder and 200kHz Transducer, along with associated accessories. The items are required for an upcoming Lake Washington project to monitor out-migrating salmonids using the echosounder alongside an existing ARIS multibeam system. The RFQ requests quotes for a DTX Extreme Autonomous Echosounder Surface Unit, additional transducer ports, a 200kHz split beam transducer, cables, a GPS sensor, a calibration sphere, and a transducer mount. The required delivery date is before April 1, 2023, or as soon as possible, and vendors must submit their quotations by March 22, 2023, at 4:00 PM. WDFW will issue a Field Order to the selected vendor upon acceptance of the quotation.

The RFQ specifies that pricing must be FOB Destination, and all transportation and handling charges are to be included in the quoted prices. Washington state sales tax will be added to the billing invoice, but not included in the quoted prices. The RFQ also includes a certification requirement related to Executive Order 1803 on workers' rights. There are no guarantees of additional orders beyond the initial purchase quantity, but the awarded contract will allow for future purchases under the same terms and conditions within one year of the award.
