58--Intent to Award-acoustic transmitter

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a non-competitive purchase order for acoustic telemetry receivers to support passive monitoring of tagged fish in riverine and lacustrine systems across New York State and the broader Northeast region. The purchase order will be awarded to Innovasea Marine Systems, and the equipment must be delivered to Ithaca, New York within 60 days of award. The USGS has already deployed Innovasea-compatible acoustic transmitters in fish currently under study, and purchasing non-Innovasea receivers would result in complete loss of detection data from all previously tagged animals. • The purchase order is for acoustic telemetry receivers to support passive monitoring of tagged fish. • The equipment must be delivered to Ithaca, New York within 60 days of award. • The USGS has already deployed Innovasea-compatible acoustic transmitters in fish currently under study. • The purchase order will be awarded to Innovasea Marine Systems.
