- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a sole source fixed-price purchase order to Telonics, Inc. under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)), Simplified Acquisition Procedures for nine (9) TGW-4689H-3 with salt water switch & CR-2A for polar bear, one (1) Upgrade uGPSI20 to TGW-4689H-3 with salt water switch & CR-2A, and one (1) refurbish TGW-4689-2 with salt water switch & CR-2A and shipping services to Anchorage, AK 99508. Telonics transmitters have been deployed on polar bears in Alaska since the early 1980's. The units are hermetically sealed to eliminate moisture problems. The transmitters are cold tested and built to operate at -40F. Telonics satellite transmitters have a full warranty and can be refurbished repeatedly, thus decreasing overall costs. The polar bear project has used this equipment for over 20 years. Data integrity, consistency and efficiency are all served by continuing to work with the same products. Project personnel have invested considerable time designing collar programming, data downloading and processing methods that are compatible with the format of Telonics products. The agencies that work on the populations of polar bears adjacent to our study area also use Telonics collars. This uniformity allows for seamless monitoring of collar equipped polar bears across the region when needed. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROCUREMENT. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting the USGS'S requirement as stated herein may submit a capability statement on or be before the closing date, which shall be considered by the Agency (FAR 5.207(c) (16) (ii)). All questions or comments regarding this procurement shall be addressed in writing to Mrs. Davis, jmdavis@usgs.gov. This notice and any resulting solicitation or contract conforms to the requirements in place through FAC 2005-62, Effective 20 Dec 2012. In accordance with FAR 5.207(c) (14) (i), one or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to Free Trade Agreements. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing). SBA Size Standard in employees: 750
