About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting a sole source procurement for 15,000 Biomark APT 12 pre-loaded pit tags to be used in the Deschutes River Stock hatchery spring Chinook program. The procurement specifically targets pit tags critical for tracking fish performance and gathering vital data, particularly in response to extremely low adult fish returns in recent years. The procurement will support a size at release study being conducted at the Round Butte Fish Hatchery, with the Biomark APT-12 pit tags selected due to their compatibility with existing pit tag detection equipment at the hatchery and Columbia River dams. The procurement is geographically limited to Jefferson County and the City of Madras in Oregon, with a contract opportunity posted on October 29, 2021, and a response deadline of November 5, 2021. The sole source determination is based on compatibility requirements, the need for data exchange between agencies, and the tags' use in a pilot/experimental project.
The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of set-aside designations, with Biomark, Inc. identified as the sole source distributor of the required products. The company is the exclusive worldwide distributor of Biomark, Destron Fearing Inc., and Allflex fisheries and wildlife products, including PIT tags, readers, antennas, and related accessories. The estimated contract value is $37,500 for the 15,000 pit tags, with no additional information provided about potential incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements. The procurement is specifically for specialized scientific equipment used in fisheries research, suggesting that responding organizations would need expertise in wildlife tracking technology and scientific instrumentation. While the documentation does not explicitly outline qualifications, respondents would likely need to demonstrate technical compatibility with existing systems and the ability to provide the exact specifications of the Biomark APT 12 pre-loaded pit tags.
