7G--Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intends to award a sole source contract to InnovaSea Systems, Inc. for the procurement of acoustic telemetry transmitters necessary for maintaining the telemetry network at the Ohio River Substation. This acquisition aims to expand the existing infrastructure and replace aging units currently used for tracking invasive carps, ensuring the continued effectiveness of the monitoring program. The decision to proceed with a sole source award is justified under FAR subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii), as InnovaSea is the only source capable of providing compatible transmitters due to the established infrastructure and existing relationship. Interested parties may submit a statement of capabilities to the primary contact, Carter Duke, at carter_duke@fws.gov, although this notice does not constitute a solicitation for competitive quotes.
