66--Acoustic Monitoring System Equipment

The U.S. Geological Survey intends to procure a proprietary acoustic monitoring system from Wildlife Acoustics, Inc. for bat‑call detection and long‑term field recording. The equipment must meet specific performance and durability criteria, support extensive recording hours, and integrate with existing USGS systems. Although this is a single‑source award, any responsible party may submit a quotation for consideration, and the agency retains discretion to compete the action. • Equipment must reliably record northern long‑eared bat calls in harsh field conditions. • Must provide high‑quality acoustic data and flexible microphone placement. • Must operate in extreme temperature/precipitation and support ≥240 hours of recording. • Requires custom scheduling, secure mounting, and large‑capacity batteries. • Award to be made under FAR Part 12 (commercial items) with NAICS 334220. • Quotations due by 09/08/2026 0900 PDT via email only.
