- Attachemnt A - List of Items to be purchased from VEMCO Division, AMIRIX Systems Incorporated, 211 Horseshoe Lake Drive, Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada B3S 0B9 By way of this Notice, and in accordance with FAR 6.203-1, The Chicago District U. S. Army Corps of Engineers announces its intentions to award a Sole Source, Firm Fixed-Price Purchase Order to VEMCO Division, AMIRIX Systems Incorporated, 211 Horseshoe Lake Drive, Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada B3S 0B9 for the supply of the products listed in Attachement A. The system works with receivers already deployed in the canal by the Corps of Engineers and agency partners like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Currently, USACE has invested over $250,000 in the existing VEMCO network. Adding the contributions of USFWS and MWRD, we have a network that is worth over $400K. The proposed source, VEMCO, manufactures the ultrasonic transmitters that are compatible to the VEMCO VR2 receivers already deployed in the river by the US Army Corps of Engineers and agency partners like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. VEMCO owns the patent and this technology is proprietary and unique. This is a sensitive project - we are monitoring the invasion front of a highly invasive species that we have spent years and millions of dollars to manage, monitor, and prevent its spread to the Great Lakes. The Classification Code for this procurement is North American Industry System (NAICS) 335999, with a small business size standard of 500 Employees.
