DNR - Surface Transponder&Acoustic Receiver NO SUB

The State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is aiming to enhance its capabilities in managing invasive carp species by procuring four surface transponder and tracking acoustic receivers. These devices are critical for tracking fish tagged with 69 kHz Vemco acoustic transmitters, assisting in their monitoring and facilitating the removal of invasive populations. As specified in Exhibit C of the Sample Contract, vendors must ensure their products align with the detailed specifications and scope of work provided by the DNR. In addition, responders are required to furnish documentation such as equipment sales literature and technical data upon request to substantiate compliance with the stipulated requirements. The contract's performance period is projected from December 6, 2024, through June 30, 2025, although the specific geographic location for execution is currently unspecified. All responses to the solicitation must be submitted electronically via the SWIFT portal, and no alternative submission methods like emails or faxes will be accepted. The DNR will issue a single purchase order per vendor, with payment being made once the delivery and approval of all items have been completed. Interested vendors should direct any inquiries to the designated buyer and familiarize themselves with any attachments related to the event, as compliance with all listed requirements is mandatory. The procurement process is supported by a valuation estimate ranging from $20,000 to $50,000.
