7G--EIFO CARIBOU GPS IRIDIUM RADIOCOLLARS 20

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking to procure 29 GPS/Iridium radio collars for the Eastern Interior Field Office. The solicitation is for a direct purchase of the collars, and the BLM has had previous experience working directly with the manufacturer, Vectronic Aerospace. The statement of work requires the supplier to ship the collars to the BLM point of contact, Claire Montgomerie. • The quantity of collars needed is 29, not 31 as mentioned in the justification for other than full and open competition. • The supplier is expected to include shipping costs in their bid, but it is not required to itemize these expenses. • The BLM is open to innovative approaches to procurement and may consider alternative purchasing options in the future.
