- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center has a requirement for quantity five (5) solar-powered satellite telemetry transmitters configured for external attachment to Long-billed Curlews, total weight not to exceed 18g, delivery not later than 18 April 2008, and quantity five (5) solar-powered satellite telemetry transmitters configured for external attachment to Marbled Godwits, total weight not to exceed 9.5g, delivery not later than 01 June 2008. Both sizes should be capable of transmitting at night. In addition to the weight criteria expressed above, the height of the units is important, as overly tall units increase wind resistance (drag), a critical weakness for transmitters intended for use on migratory birds. The USGS is aware of only one manufacturer of suitable transmitters to meet this need (Microwave Telemetry, Inc. of Columbia, MD) and, therefore, intends to fulfill this requirement on a noncompetitive basis in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1) and the procedures of FAR Part 12, entitled "Acquisition of Commercial Items." Other interested concerns having the ability to meet the USGS' requirement may submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement at 17:00 local time. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist. If no competitive opportunities exist, request for quotation (RFQ) 08WRQQ0061 will be made available to Microwave Telemetry, Inc. through the Government-wide Point of Entry (GPE) on or about Wednesday 26 March 2008, IAW FAR 5.102(a)(1). This notice and any resulting solicitation or contract conforms to the requirements in place through FAC 2005-24, effective 28 February 2008. For further information, please contact the Contracting Officer at (916) 278-9341 or jcaravelli@usgs.gov.
