About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting a sole source procurement for 130 Lotek Freshwater NanoTag Coded VHF Radio Transmitters, Model NTF3-2, specifically for a Klamath Watershed fish tracking study focused on juvenile Chinook salmon migration. This procurement is being conducted under Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 279B.075 and Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 125-247-0275, with Jackson County identified as the associated jurisdiction. The primary objective is to acquire specialized radio transmitters that enable individual fish tracking through a proprietary coding system, with the tags scheduled for deployment in April 2023 and operational through August 2023. Lotek Wireless Inc. is the exclusive manufacturer of these compatible radio transmitters and receivers, making this a sole source solicitation that will result in a direct purchase order. The procurement timeline indicates the tags will be ordered within the next two months, with anticipated receipt in early 2023, supporting a scientific research initiative tracking salmon migration patterns.
No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. Lotek Wireless Inc. is the incumbent and sole vendor capable of providing the required technology, as they are the exclusive worldwide manufacturer of the proprietary radio transmitters and receivers compatible with their unique coding system. The total estimated cost for the 130 radio tags is $22,740, with the procurement being funded through the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's research budget. The technological requirements necessitate complete compatibility with existing Lotek receivers already owned by ODFW and partner organizations, which limits potential alternative vendors. The sole source determination has been approved by the ODFW Contract Services Manager, indicating internal organizational validation of the procurement approach. While specific integration requirements were not extensively detailed, the procurement appears focused on continuing an existing research methodology using consistent technological infrastructure.
