Woods Hole Group is, to the USGS knowledge, the only source who can provide the satellite location tracking data since the Argos System is the only satellite tracking system that can collect low power transmissions from anywhere in the world. Woods Hole Group is the sole company that processes and disseminates satellite tracking data collected through the Argos Data Collection and Location System (DCLS) that is flown aboard the NOAA polar-orbiting Tiros-N satellite series, and other international satellites. We require use of the DCLS for studies tracking remote populations of greater sage-grouse, a species of concern, across the western United States. Woods Hole Group is a subsidiary of CLS America that owns and operates receivers (onboard U.S. NOAA weather satellites, and other international satellites) that collect data from animals that are already wearing specifically designed transmitters and can only be read by Woods Hole Group/Argos. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation by the closing date of this announcement which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government.
