ITB 2025-1100-0360 - ADF&G Acoustic Equipment and Supplies

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2025-1100-0360 for acoustic equipment and supplies, seeking vendors to provide a comprehensive range of acoustic monitoring technologies. The procurement covers acoustic recorders (with and without video capabilities), ultrasonic recorders, monitoring equipment, software, accessories, and miscellaneous acoustic equipment to be purchased on an as-needed basis across various departmental divisions. The initial contract term is two years, with potential for five additional two-year renewal periods, starting from the contract award date of 5/30/25. Bids are due by 2:00 PM Alaska Standard Time on 5/20/25, and must be submitted electronically to dfg.contracting@alaska.gov. Bidders are required to possess a current Alaska business license and comply with state and federal regulations, with procurement contact Hollie Roselle available at 907-465-8731 for potential inquiries.

The solicitation offers multiple preference opportunities for bidders, including a 5% Alaska Bidder Preference, a 5% Alaska Veteran Preference, and a 2% Alaska Military Skills Program Preference. Contract pricing will remain firm for the first year, with potential Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments in subsequent years, and the state will process payments within 30 days of goods/services receipt, with a potential 5% discount for invoices paid within 15 business days. The contract is subject to legislative appropriation, and the state does not guarantee minimum or maximum purchase quantities. Prospective vendors should note that while the contract provides a framework for procurement, actual purchases will be made on an as-needed basis. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the ongoing nature of the procurement and potential for multiple two-year renewals suggests a significant potential revenue opportunity for qualified vendors with expertise in acoustic monitoring equipment and technologies.
