The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Wildlife Computers Inc.Using the procedures of FAR Part 13 the requirement is to procure the following: Eighteen (18) SPLASH10-373A Implantable TagsThe applicable Size Standard is North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334511 with a Small business size standard of 1350 employees.

This Sole Source Determination is based on NOAAA's requirement that is the only Vendor that provides the required Supplies:The NOAA NMFS and partner institutions use implantable telemetry tags to study the movements, habitats, and foraging behavior of large whales, including endangered sperm whales in the Gulf of America. These implantable tags are deployed remotely and are embedded in the blubber of the animal using an anchoring system that allows the tag to remain attached for weeks to months before falling off. Data on movements and dive behavior are transmitted continuously throughout the deployment via satellite (ARGOS) communication. This requires a specially designed sensor, power, and transmission package. The attachment anchor and electronic portion of the tag are consolidated into a single body which both increases the longevity of attachment and reduces the potential for injury to the animal. Tags of this type have been used by NOAA and partner agencies to study large whale movements world wide. The requestd tags will be used for a field research project in the summer of 2025.
