The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking to acquire submersible receivers, data telemetry transmitters, tags, proprietary or unique accessories and software, and any updated or improved versions of these products from InnovaSea, DBA: Vemco, for a 3-year period from contract execution through 06/30/2025. The required products include single channel receivers capable of identifying various VEMCO transmitters, as well as coded and continuous transmitter tags in multiple sizes for tracking fish and marine invertebrates. FWC is seeking a single-source purchase due to compatibility requirements with existing tracking instrumentation, and prospective vendors must provide information regarding their ability to supply the requested commodities by November 9, 2022. The estimated dollar amount for this single-source purchase is $3,000,000, and FWC has determined that the products can only be obtained from InnovaSea, as there is no other company able to meet the specified requirements. The contract will be awarded to InnovaSea, provided they demonstrate the capability and integrity to fully perform the contract requirements in accordance with Chapter 287, Florida Statutes, and all other applicable rules and laws.

This is not a solicitation for bids or proposals, and FWC is not accepting any bids or "no bid" replies at this time. The contracting opportunity is limited to InnovaSea, DBA: Vemco, as the sole source capable of providing the required products and services. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the type of organization that can respond, and there is no incumbent vendor or current contractor listed. The total budget for this single-source contract is estimated at $3,000,000.
