- The Bureau of Reclamation intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with PRAqua Supplies Ltd. 1631 Harold Road, Nanaimo, BC Canada C9T 1Tf to acquire a Riverwatcher Fish Counting System with additional components including an external underwater video camera, a 20 and 50 meter cable and operational software. The system has to consist a display unit, a light emitter/receiver fish scanner, temperature logger, watertight box, operation and analysis software, connector box, battery cables and 110 volt charger. Extra components needed for the evaluation of this system should include a communication module to trigger an underwater camera, and underwater camera and different length cables. In addition, the fish counter, installed in the water, counts fish in in situ. This fish counter should provide two silhouettes of each fish counted, count up and downstream fish, calculate length , determine special tags and marks for stock assessment the fish, operate on battery power, capable of being linked to a data collection platform, and have potential to be used to identify fish to species that pass ands get counted. The counted fish should not be able to sense the counter beams (consequently there is no avoidance bias), and the counter should be modifiable to a variety of water turbidities. The proposed action is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The reason justifying this sole source procurement is: Government believes that only one responsible source can provide the supplies that will satisfy the agency requirements. Any firm that believes it can furnish the items described above are encouraged to give written notification to the Contracting Officer. Supporting evidence must be furnished, in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirements. All responses received within 7 days of the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries will only be accepted by Fax at (303) 445-6345, Attention: Chau Nguyen. Responses should include the firm's business size [e.g. small business, other than small business] in accordance with the size standard: 500 employees for North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334514.
