GPS Collar Refurbishing

The Alaska Region of the National Park Service intends to award a contract to Telonics, Inc. on a non-competetive basis. The requirement is to refurbish ten (10) each TGW-3580, CLM, Cast 4 (full), TEMP-1, urethane over butyl belting with CR-2A Collar Release Mechanisms. The National Park Service has purchased radio transmitter collars from Telonics, Inc under a previous contract (wolf research). The collars will be returned to Telonics, Inc at the end of the study period for refurbishment and subsequent reuse. Telonics, Inc is the only company that will refurbish its manufactured collars. Also, for data to be meaningful and comparative between wolf projects, resolution of data from collars (accuracy, fix rate, etc.) must be similar, therefore, it is imperative that any additional collars be configured in exactly the same manner as all other GPS collars that have been purchased for wolf monitoring. Past market research and solicitations for the same and similar items have shown Telonics, Inc to have competitive pricing and the ability to provide a reliable, sturdy and quality product that is able to meet specific project requirements. Award will be made on or after August 15, 2009. Contact person for questions is Deryl Morse at 907-644-3313 or email at [email protected]. Award amount for the contract is anticipated to be $17,400.
