- Description
- The purpose of this announcement is to provide notice that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Contracting and General Services, Albuquerque, New Mexico intends to make a firm fixed price, sole source award to CLS America, Inc. of Lanham, Maryland for satellite transmission data. Argos is a unique worldwide location and data collection system dedicated to studying and protecting the environment. Transmissions from platform transmitter terminals (PTTs) placed on wildlife are sent to the global Argos satellite system and earth-based receiving stations. The Argos system was developed jointly by NASA, NOAA, and the French Space Agency, with CLS America being the subsidiary created to serve North American users of satellite telemetry data. The earth based stations receive satellite transmissions originating from, in our case, Golden Eagles, which transfer the information to Argos Processing Centers. The information is processed as location data and sent directly to the Region 2 Migratory Bird Office. This announcement is published as a Sole Source in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. This is not a request for competitive quotes. The intent of this Pre-Award Notice is for informational purposes only. However, all information received by 4:00 p.m. MST, April 1, 2014 will be considered by the Government. POC: Rachel Williams, Contracting Officer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 1306, Albuquerque, NM 87103-1306. Questions must be submitted in writing to Rachel Williams via email at Rachel_Williams@fws.gov or fax (505) 248-6791.
