Quick Summary
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), under the Department of the Interior, has published an Award Notice detailing the Single Source Justification for the procurement of a RiverPro 1200 ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler). This acquisition is essential for measuring river discharge for the Sea Lamprey Control Program in Ludington, MI. The justification outlines the rationale for a non-competitive award under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), approved under FAR Part 13.
Scope of Need
The requirement is for accurate and reliable tools to measure river discharge, critical for the Sea Lamprey Control Program. The RiverPro ADCP was identified as meeting these specific needs.
Justification for Sole Source
Market research, including GSA Advantage and E-Library, identified the RiverPro ADCP as available from Dune Technologies LLC or Teledyne RD Instruments. While other ADCPs exist, the RiverPro was selected due to its suitable features, depth and velocity capabilities, user-friendliness, and portability. A key factor for the sole-source decision is the reliance on USGS technical support for ADCP selection and operation, and the need for compatibility with USGS analytical tools (e.g., QRev software). The FWS has prior satisfaction with Teledyne instruments, and the RiverPro ADCP is recommended by USGS hydrologic technicians.
