Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisitions Division-Kansas City office intends to award, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Vemco Inc for the purchase of 100 satellite tracking tags, transmitter product number V16-6H-A69-1303. The Gulf of Mexico Sturgeon was listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act in 1995. The 2009 Gulf Sturgeon Working Group set research objectives in order to fulfill the data nees of future assessments. The primary objective was to obtain reliable estimates of natural mortality and abundance. In order to attain these objectives, a standardized protocol for estimating mortality was implemented in which Vemco VR2 W receivers are used as "gates" at the mouths of seven major rivers defined as critical habitat for this species. Each year for five years, five Gulf sturgeon from each river will be implanted with Vemco V16 transmitters. Because Vemco receivers are proprietary, other types of transmitters may not be able to pick up Vemco signals and allowing Gulf sturgeon to leave the rivers undetected. Reliable tag detections are crucial for the success of the project. A sources sought notice was posted to FedBizOpps on July 21, 2010 and closed on July 30, 2010. No responses were received.
