Innovasea NexTrak AR Transponding Acoustic Release Receivers (24 units) with integrated underwater acoustic release capability, battery packs, activation probes, and associated accessories required for deployment as stationary acoustic telemetry receivers

Solicitation # 9250-27-R-RFIN-00007

Mississippi State University is procuring 24 Innovasea NexTrak AR Transponding Acoustic Release Receivers through a sole-source acquisition to expand its Gulf-wide Cobia and Tripletail Acoustic Telemetry Network. The equipment includes integrated underwater acoustic release capability, battery packs, activation probes, and all associated accessories necessary for deployment as stationary telemetry receivers. The procurement is justified exclusively on the need for technical interoperability with approximately 800 existing Innovasea 69 kHz acoustic transmitters already in use across the regional network, making replacement with equipment from other manufacturers impossible without compromising data continuity and system functionality. The total estimated contract value is $122,641.00, which includes shipping and warranty, and is based on manufacturer pricing and Innovasea’s iTAG member discount. The solicitation, numbered 9250-27-R-RFIN-00007, was posted on July 29, 2026, with responses due by August 12, 2026, and delivery is required to be made to Mississippi State University’s procurement office at 245 Barr Avenue, Room 610, Mississippi State, MS 39762. While the contract does not specify detailed packaging, preservation, or labeling standards, the receivers must function seamlessly within the existing Innovasea ecosystem, and no substitutions are permitted. There are no competitive evaluation factors, option quantities, or contractual clauses identified in the documentation, as the acquisition is non-competitive and driven solely by system compatibility. The point of contact for inquiries is Debra Raines, with Jennifer Mayfield serving as the Contracting Point of Purchase, and no formal delivery schedule, FOB terms, or invoicing method are provided beyond the established procurement window.
