61--Generator

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a sole source contract to Global Thermoelectric Corporation for two Model #5060 Generators to support the Columbia River Fisheries Program Office. This decision is based on the determination that Global Thermoelectric Corporation is the sole developer and manufacturer of these specific generators, which are critical for powering remote PIT Tag Antenna Stations in alignment with the Bulltrout Recovery Plan. The generators are particularly suited for continuous, unattended operation in harsh and remote environments due to their low maintenance needs and minimal gas consumption, making them essential for the program’s objectives. The contract is being issued through a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, and the procurement will not be subject to full and open competition, as authorized under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). This announcement serves as a notice of intent to award and is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. The contracting office is located in Falls Church, Virginia, under the Department of the Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service Headquarters.
