AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Contracting and General Services Division in Portland, Oregon, plans to acquire proprietary acoustic transmitters and receivers manufactured exclusively by VEMCO for use by the Arcata Fish & Wildlife Office in California. These devices will be implanted in juvenile coho salmon and steelhead in the Humboldt Bay tributaries to monitor fish residence time and habitat utilization. This tagging technology allows researchers to remotely track and identify individual fish without the need to recapture them, providing critical data to various local, state, federal, and tribal agencies for managing Humboldt Bay’s aquatic environment. Due to the specialized nature of VEMCO equipment and compatibility requirements with the existing monitoring system at the Arcata office, the Service determined that only VEMCO units can fulfill this need cost-effectively. Consequently, the government intends to award a sole-source contract to VEMCO without opening the requirement to full and open competition, in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 6.302-1). This notification serves as a formal intent to make this award based on these justifications.

Full Description

There is no solicitation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Contracting and General Services Division in Portland, OR have a requirement for the procurement of transmitters and receivers manufactured by VEMCO for the the Arcata Fish & Wildlife Office (AFWO), Arcata, CA. These items will be implanted in juvenile coho salmon and juvenile steelhead from tributaries to Humboldt Bay, California to determine residence time and habitat use in Humboldt Bay. The acoustic transmitters allow researchers from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, AFWO to locate and identify individual tagged fish in the wild without having to recapture the individuals. Results from this study will be used by city, county, state, federal, and tribal agencies to aid management decisions regarding the waters of Humboldt Bay. Due to the proprietary nature of the VEMCO transmitters and receivers, only VEMCO units will interface with AFWO existing VEMCO transmitters and receivers. The price of purchasing receivers and transmitters to replace those currently owned by AFWO from other companies would be cost-prohibitive. The Service intends to award Sole Source to VEMCO. This synopsis is a notice of intent to issue award using other than full and open competition and is not a request for competitive proposals. The determination of the Government not to open subject requirement to full and open competition was made IAW FAR 6.302-1.
