Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP) is conducting a Limited Solicitation (FWP-LimtSol-2019-0243) to procure twelve Plot Watcher Pro Cameras specifically for river monitoring purposes. The procurement is strictly for the Day 6 Plotwatcher Game Surveillance System cameras, with no alternate brands permitted. This solicitation was opened on May 24, 2019, at 12:00 PM MDT and will close on May 30, 2019, at 2:00 PM MDT. The procurement includes two product line items: one for a single camera (P1) requiring a per-camera cost for future orders, and another for the complete twelve-camera order (P2) with a total cost requirement. Vendors must complete several prerequisites, including accepting standard terms and conditions, agreeing to an all-or-none award condition, and submitting a completed contractor information form. The commodity code 3212 is associated with this procurement, which relates to livestock, fish, and game radio telemetric equipment for electronic animal surveillance. The primary contact for this solicitation is Kari Shinn, who can be reached at KShinn@mt.gov or +1 406-495-3249.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were detailed in the provided documentation. The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors capable of providing the exact specified camera system. While no incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements were mentioned, the procurement suggests a focused, specialized need for precise river monitoring equipment. The solicitation indicates an interest in establishing both individual and bulk pricing for the cameras, which might suggest potential future expansion or ongoing procurement needs. Though a specific budget range was not explicitly stated, the procurement is for twelve cameras, which implies a moderate-scale investment in monitoring technology. The all-or-none award condition suggests the agency is seeking a comprehensive solution from a single vendor who can meet their exact specifications for river monitoring camera systems.
