The manufacturer should have a proven performance record of supplying large numbers (in excess of 3,000 tags) of radio transmitters for studies in large river systems to assess hydroelectric project passage behavior. Each tag will have a unique channel/code combination except test tags. In addition, 27 test tags for testing and balancing the telemetry system. Test tags are exactly the same as fish tags however, the code generated is 576 on all test tags. Three Test tags per frequency with a code of 576 total 27 test tags. Table 1.

Evaluation Criteria as per FAR 52:212-2 EvaluationCommercial Items (Jan 1999) (a)The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government based on selecting best value by using the lowest price, technically acceptable method. To be considered technically acceptable, an offeror must pass all technical factors. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Factors (1)Provide evidence that the supplier has provided as a minimum of 2,000 tags for juvenile salmonoid studies in the vicinity of large hydroelectric dams. (2)Documentation must be provided to ensure that the potential vendor is able to meet the delivery schedule and will supply a proven product These evaluation criteria can be provided in the form of past contracts, including quantities of tags delivered and the use of those tags (type of fish, general environment in which they were deployed), as well as references from past contracts for transmitters. Review of the documentation provided by the vendor will result in a rating of acceptable or unacceptable for each of the two factors. Each of the two factors requires an acceptable rating in order for the contractor to receive an overall acceptable under the technical evaluation criteria. The lowest price by an offeror with an overall acceptable rating will receive award for this contract. (b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offers specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
