AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Contracting and General Services Division in Portland, Oregon, plans to procure acoustic transmitters and underwater receivers exclusively from VEMCO for the Arcata Fish & Wildlife Office in Arcata, California. These devices are essential for conducting a juvenile coho salmon smolt residence study starting in spring 2007, a collaborative project between the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Arcata FWO utilizes VEMCO equipment due to its advanced coding capabilities and the availability of the smallest coded acoustic transmitters, which are critical for studying juvenile salmon. Because of the proprietary technology used by VEMCO, only their products can interface with the existing equipment at Arcata FWO, and switching suppliers would result in prohibitive costs. The Service intends to award this contract as a sole source to VEMCO, bypassing full and open competition as justified under FAR 6.302-1. This notice serves as an announcement of the intent to issue the contract without requesting competitive proposals. The decision acknowledges the unique specifications and compatibility requirements of the VEMCO transmitters and receivers, ensuring continuity and effectiveness in the salmon study while managing costs efficiently.

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 acoustic transmitters and underwater receivers manufactured by VEMCO for the Arcata Fish & Wildlife Office, Arcata, CA. These items are needed to conduct a juvenile coho salmon smolt residence study that will begin in spring 2007. The project is a cooperative effort between the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Currently, Arcata FWO uses VEMCO acoustic transmitters because they have a robust coding scheme and make the smallest coded acoustic transmitter available today, which is crucial to the studies of juvenile salmon. Due to the proprietary nature of the VEMCO transmitters and receivers, only VEMCO units will interface with Arcata FWO existing VEMCO transmitters and receivers. 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.
