7G--GPS Bear Collars
Solicitation # 140G0126Q0212
The USGS Cooperative Research Units in Reston, Virginia, are seeking capabilities from vendors to supply GPS tracking collars for studying black bear movement ecology in South Carolina, specifically to analyze road-crossing behavior and habitat use in support of wildlife management and ecological research. The collars must meet strict technical specifications, including compatibility with both juvenile and adult bears within safe weight limits, GPS recording capacity of up to 365,500 positions, remote data transmission via Iridium satellite with unlimited daily updates, VHF beacon functionality, mortality and temperature sensors, a 3-axis activity sensor, field-replaceable batteries, and a virtual fence capability to dynamically adjust fix frequency based on location—prioritizing high-resolution data near road corridors to conserve battery life. Additional requirements include programmable GPS schedules with a minimum 5-minute fix interval, remote drop-off mechanisms, a stainless steel label plate, a two-year warranty on electronic components, and software compatibility with Windows 11 and mobile access. Iridium satellite service must be included and fully functional. This request is issued as a Request for Information under FAR 52.215-3 solely for market research and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, offer, or commitment to award a contract. The government will not pay for responses or reimburse costs incurred. Responses are limited to a five-page capability statement containing company details, business type (with preference for small businesses including 8(a), HUBZone, veteran-owned, woman-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned concerns), GSA Schedule applicability, approximate cost estimates, and at least three relevant past performance examples from the last three years. General brochures or non-specific information will not be accepted. Proposals are not permitted; only capability statements that directly address the outlined requirements are eligible. Responses must be emailed to Miranda Blankenship by 5:00 PM ET on July 17, 2026, with the subject line “RFI - USGS GPS Bear Collars.” The anticipated procurement, if initiated, is expected to be a firm fixed-price contract in fiscal year 2026 under NAICS code 334220, and the place of performance remains unspecified at this stage.
