- Description
- The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Legacy 6, intends to award a firm-fixed price, sole source contract to CORRAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, 47765 899TH ROAD ATKINSON, NE 68713-4439, GPS Transmitters. FWS intends to award this requirement as a sole source to CORRAL TECHNOLOGIES because Corral is the only source available who hasn't set a minimum or maximum order size and therefore can fulfill the requirement of 240 GPS collars for cattle. Our FWS Seedskadee NWR is piloting an invisible fence / GPS collars used on cows as an alternative to electric fencing in our prescribed grazing program. These GPS collars will help keep cattle in areas we want them to graze, eliminating the need for electric fencing, which can pose problems to large ungulate movement and can have issues with bird strikes. Considering this new technology is still developing and improving, production capacity and internal policies are limited. Other vendors in the same market either have an unactive SAM account or cannot fulfill the requirement because the size of our project is just too small for their mimumum and maximum limits. In essence, market research shows Corral Technologies is the only vendor who can secure the number of collars required for use Fall of 2023. There are no other similar products that can meet the requirement before this fiscal year-end whereby this acquisition is deemed urgent. The NAICS code is 334220 Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotes; however, all responsible sources may submit a quotation and technical capabilities, which, if received within seven (7) calendar days of publication of this notice, shall be considered by FWS for future renewals. All responses must be submitted by email to Deborah Florio at deborah_florio@fws.gov. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
