Radio Telemetry and Roost Tracking

The contract requires the attachment of radio transmitters to captured bats followed by initial tracking efforts to monitor their movements and locate roosting sites over a period of up to two weeks after capture. This work involves the use of GPS technology and photographic documentation to precisely map and record roost locations, ensuring accurate data collection for ecological and behavioral analysis. The project is time-sensitive, with a response deadline of May 21, 2026, and will be performed at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, under the oversight of the Department of Defense through W2R2 Construction Engrg Labor. This subcontract falls under NAICS code 541620, indicating it involves scientific research and development services, specifically related to environmental and biological monitoring. The activities are confined to a defined geographic area and must be completed within the two-week window following bat capture, necessitating rapid deployment and efficient field operations. All data collected must be thoroughly documented and linked to specific geographic coordinates to support ongoing research objectives under the Department of Defense's environmental monitoring programs.
