7G--EO 14398 - This requirement is for support services for USGS Northern Rocky Mtn

The US Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a purchase order to TELONICS INC for support services. The required radio collars must be fully compatible with the Government's existing software environment for data collection, transmission, and analysis. TELONICS is the only known vendor that provides equipment natively compatible with these systems. • The project involves wildlife tracking projects at Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge. • The interagency efforts rely on standardized data formats, shared processing code, and integrated visualization tools. • The required radio collars must be compatible with the Government's existing software environment. • Other vendors' products would require significant modification or replacement of existing software and processes.
