266 Summer ST FL 4 Boston, Massachusetts 02210-1137, United States The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334290, Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing.

Service Code (PSC) for this requirement is 7G22, IT and Telecom, Network: Satellite and Rf Communications Products.

The object of this sole source award is to acquire the purchase of INNOVASEA (formerly Vemco) brand acoustic telemetry work in our field work operations.

INNOVASEA is the only company that supplies acoustic receivers/tags to all other agencies/projects participating in the Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System (GLATOS) funded by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.

Other company's products are not compatible with the INNOVASEA system, and would therefore not be a part of the Great Lakes wide GLATOS data network for reporting tag detections.

Since this project and our current/former projects will be a part of the GLATOS network and will utilize existing INNOVASEA equipment already deployed, it is not possible to use other company's equipment.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
