FWS has a need for acoustic tags and telemetry equipment at our Mid-Columbia River Fisheries Resource Office (FRO). Other company's products are not compatible with the INNOVASEA system; therefore, it is not possible to use other company's equipment due to the nature of the acoustic telemetry technology and the equipment being utilized by our FRO. Use of other brands of equipment would be incompatible with existing equipment and may interfere with equipment already deployed for existing field work. In essence, no other vendor has access to the proprietary design of Vemco telemetry signal coding components. Thus, the propriety nature of acoustic telemetry equipment and the importance of compatibility with existing equipment prevents use of other brands. Vemco does not have authorized resellers. This synopsis does not constitute a solicitation; however, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. If parties choose to respond, any cost associated with preparation and submission of data or any other cost incurred in response to this announcement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address: deborah_florio@fws.gov.
