- Description
- The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Region 7, Alaska, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Lotek Wireless, Inc. The Service has a continued requirement for telemetry study of fish in the Kuparuk River. One hundred and ten radio transmitters are required to conduct a research project investigating Arctic Grayling movement in the Kuparuk River, and ten will be implanted on a small headwater lake on the Oksrukuyik Creek, a nearby stream that is a tributary to the larger Sagavanirktok River. Arctic grayling is a small fish species approximately 30 to 50 cm in length, and transmitters must be surgically implanted to achieve our objective. Transmitters must, therefore, be very small, no more than 1cm I diameter and 2.5 cm in length. Radio transmitters are routinely procured as sole source in part because if new receivers had to be purchased every time we conducted a new telemetry project (at $4000 to $8000 per receiver) they would be prohibitively expensive to conduct, and in part because they different telemetry producers specialize in different applications. The transmitters requested here will be compatible with the existing network of remote receiving stations and they meet the size, operational life, and electronic programming criterion described. Work description:Provide 110 microprocessor coded radio fish This notice is not a request for competitive proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals received.
