The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Department of the Interior, intends to award a sole source purchase order to Vertebrate Systems LLC for the procurement of GPS/GSM transmitters designed for small raptors, specifically to support a long-term demographic study of Cooper’s hawks in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The transmitters, manufactured by Ornitela and modelled as OrniTrack-6 and OrniTrack-10 or approved equivalents, are tailored to meet stringent biological and operational requirements, including a backpack design that is aerodynamic, waterproof, and lightweight — with the 6-gram units and 10-gram units falling below the 3% body weight threshold for the target species. Each device is equipped with a high-sensitivity 72-channel GPS receiver, an LTE Cat-M1 (LTE-M) cellular transceiver for reliable data transmission across the U.S. and into Mexico, a lithium-polymer battery with solar charging capability, and internal memory capable of storing up to two million data records. The transmitters allow for user-configurable GPS logging intervals from one second to 48 hours and GSM upload intervals from 10 minutes to 192 hours, with stored data retained during network outages. Advanced features include dual geofencing with up to 10 rectangular zones per zone, high-frequency sensor data collection for acceleration, magnetization, and temperature, day/night mode operational settings, remote firmware updates over-the-air, and full remote control via an online dashboard. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334220 and PSC 5820, and will be executed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures per FAR Part 13.106-1(b), with an estimated value not exceeding $250,000. A total of 10 units — four 6-gram and six 10-gram models — will be delivered, with data transmission costs included for the operational lifespan of the devices. The requirement is justified as sole source because no other supplier provides transmitters meeting the technical, physical, and performance specifications necessary for safe deployment on Cooper’s hawks, particularly with proven reliability in international environments and adherence to wildlife tagging weight limitations. The notice is open for potential competition responses until June 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Central Time, with inquiries directed to Jack Skogen at the provided contact information.

Solicitation # IASS-AFRL-RMZB-2026-0052
The Air Force Research Laboratory Enterprise Strategies and Initiatives Contracting Division intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Gamma Products, Inc. for one new automated Heavily Shielded Ultra-Low Background Gas Flow Alpha/Beta Counter, model G5020/100T. This procurement, identified by solicitation number IASS-AFRL-RMZB-2026-0052, is designated as a single source acquisition under NAICS code 334519. The equipment will be installed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio to replace an existing system that has reached the end of its service life. The justification for the sole source award is based on the requirement for standardized equipment to maintain consistency with existing training and standard operating procedures, as Gamma Products, Inc. is identified as the only vendor capable of meeting the Minimum Requirements Document. The technical specifications for the system include four inches of lead shielding in all directions, a 100-sample automated changer, and operation using standard P-10 counting gas. The system must include a computer running Windows 10 or 11 with native operating software that provides interactive menus, automatic HV plateau generation, a user-accessible database, and basic control chart QA reports. The scope of work also includes the trade-in, pickup, and removal of the older unit. While the government is proceeding with a single source intent, authorized distributors or responsible sources may submit capability statements or exceptions to the intent by September 15, 2026, at 12:00pm Eastern Time to the primary point of contact, Christof Olp-Weakland.
