Description
The U.S. Geological Survey intends to solicit and award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to Biomark, Inc. for preloaded 12mm Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags. The requirement includes one base quantity of 24,000 preloaded 12mm PIT tags and two optional quantity line items of 6,500 additional PIT tags each. The base quantity is required on or before August 31, 2026. Optional quantities, if exercised, are required on or before September 10, 2026, and September 20, 2026. The tags must be compatible with the Government’s existing Biomark PIT scanners, PIT tag guns, and autonomous antenna systems. The key requirements for the tags include:
• 12mm Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags.
• Preloaded into PIT tag needles so the tags are injectable using PIT tag guns.
• Compliant with ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B specifications.
• Activated by a 134.2 kHz electromagnetic field.
• Suitable for fisheries monitoring in riverine environments.
• Reliable read range and detectability on autonomous antenna systems used for fisheries monitoring redetections.
• Compatible with the Government’s existing Biomark PIT scanners, PIT tag guns, and autonomous antenna systems, or supported by technical data demonstrating equivalency and compatibility with that operating environment.
