7G--INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT

***NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE***
The Bureau of Reclamation Acquisition Management Division, Upper Colorado Regional Office issues this special notice of its intent to award a sole source to Biomark LLC. Reclamation relies on Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag antennas and associated equipment to monitor and research the movements and behaviors of fish and other tagged objects, particularly endangered species. To ensure seamless data collection and analysis, all products¿hardware and software¿must be fully compatible with existing Biomark Inc. systems, which are widely deployed throughout the Colorado and Columbia River basins. This includes a variety of antenna types such as table-top, racquet, portable, submersible, floating, and fixed pass-through models in multiple sizes.
The software used must support comprehensive data management functions, including operating PIT tag scanners, downloading and archiving data, and integrating essential tag information such as tag number, date, time, species, length, weight, capture location, and user notes. It must be compatible with Windows 10 or later, support both single and multi-antenna systems, and ideally work with Android devices. Additionally, it should produce open-format files (.csv, .txt) compatible with Microsoft Excel and Access, include all future updates in the purchase price, and allow remote access via cellular and satellite modems. Compatibility with Biomark hardware and software is a critical requirement for all components.
