AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Communications Branch intends to award a firm fixed price sole source contract to Biomark, LLC, under FAR subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii), for the purchase of PIT tag interrogation equipment compatible with existing systems in the Columbia River Basin. This action is justified due to the proprietary nature of Biomark’s technology, which is the only solution that ensures interoperability with currently deployed hardware, software, and CPTE-approved PIT tags critical for long-term fish monitoring and compliance with Basin-wide data standards. Competitiveness is not feasible because no other vendor can support the existing infrastructure without risking disruption to vital fish migration tracking operations, particularly at the Dworshak National Fish Hatchery. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334511 and PSC code 7G22, and while the contract value is not disclosed, it is constrained within the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The period of performance aligns with seasonal fish migration cycles, requiring installation between September and October 2026 to support spawning and trapping activities. All proposals must be submitted as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment via email to [email hidden] by July 28, 2026, and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government; however, no costs incurred in preparing such submissions will be reimbursed. The contracting officer, Solmaz Salih, and program officer, John Erhardt, have certified the justification for sole source procurement, with no COR/COTR designated and no formal inspection criteria specified beyond adherence to CPTE and PTAGIS standards. The delivery and performance location is the Dworshak National Fish Hatchery in Idaho, and while FOB terms and pricing details are not provided, the contract type is confirmed as firm fixed price under simplified acquisition procedures. No formal representations, certifications, packaging requirements, payment instructions, or invoicing methods are detailed beyond the sole source justification, and no clause numbers or contract clauses are formally included in the documentation.
