Handheld Water Quality Meters and Sensors

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is seeking to procure 6 complete handheld water quality meter systems, including meters, sensors, calibration solutions, and transportation cases. The required items include a 4-port cable probe connection, dissolved oxygen sensor, temperature/conductivity sensor, turbidity sensor, pH/oxidative reductive potential sensor, hard-sided cases, shoulder straps, tripod clamps, and various calibration solutions. The purpose is to support WDFW's Inland Fish's Biodiversity project. The delivery deadline is June 20, 2024, and vendors must submit their quotations by April 22, 2024. WDFW will evaluate bids based on best value and provide a 3% bid preference to any vendor who certifies that they do not require employees to sign mandatory individual arbitration clauses or class/collective action waivers. Pricing for each item must be provided, and vendors may offer prompt payment discounts.

This procurement opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, with no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The contract will allow for future purchases of additional units under the same terms and conditions within one year of the award, but there are no guarantees of additional orders beyond the initial 6 systems. The budget range for this procurement is not specified, but Washington state sales tax will be added to the final invoice.
