- Description
- The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Region 7, Alaska, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract with Advanced Telemetry Systems (DUNS 049632359). The Service has a continued need for Iridium/GSP collars for a multi-year research project of Kodiak brown bears. Maintaining and adding to the inventory of telemetry collars is critical to the success of a high-priority, multi-year research project on Kodiak brown bears. ATS produces GPS collars that collect detailed, high interval location data that can be downloaded via an iridium satellite system. The iridium system actually uploads the date form the collars according to a schedule defined by the user and emails all of the date directly to the user of the collars. Their use precludes the necessity of costly, dangerous, and unreliable aerial telemetry flight in fixed-wing aircraft. It also precludes the need for fitting aircraft with costly additional radio-telemetry equipment. Features offered with the G2110E Iridium/GPS are not offered by collars from other producers. No other company other than Advanced Telemetry Systems (ATS) can provide collars with specification that can meet the USFWSs current requirements, data consistency, and integrity critical to the Southwest Kodiak Brown Bear Project. NAICS: 334220 - Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing Work description:1. 15 each Model G2110E Iridium/GPS This notice is not a request for competitive proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals received.
