Opportunity description
GPS COLLARS MULE DEER & PRONGHORNS Intend to Award Notice - Telonics, Inc The US Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement for the procurement of satellite-linked GPS tracking collars required for a study of big game movement and use of opportunistic wildlife crossing structures along Interstate 80 (I-80) in southern Wyoming. The U.S. Geological Survey (Cooperative Research Units, Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit) requests award of a non-competitive procurement to Telonics, Inc. for an order of 90 RECON-4560-5 GPS/Globalstar satellite-linked tracking collars (45 configured for mule deer with CAST-4 protective casting and CR-5A programmable timed-release mechanisms, and 45 configured for pronghorn with CAST-4 protective casting and CR-7A programmable timed-release mechanisms). Telonics RECON-series GPS collars have already been used in multiple prior and ongoing studies of big game movement along the I-80 corridor in southern Wyoming, and so for data continuity reasons must continue to be used for this next phase of work. The total anticipated period of performance will be 09/24/2026 - 11/23/2027. The USGS is aware of no other source that can provide the above. Therefore, it intends to make an award to Telonics, Inc unless it is contacted by any vendor who believes they have similar product that can meet the needs of this requirement. Vendors are invited to contact the Contract Specialist, Patrick Anderson via email at patrick_anderson@usgs.gov no later than 09:00 AM Eastern, Tuesday, September 22, 2026, with an affirmative answer.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This is a pre-solicitation signal. Use it to prepare, verify likely eligibility and watch for the formal solicitation or amendments before committing proposal effort.
The stored deadline is within three days. Check earlier question, site-visit and attachment requirements immediately; the final response date may not be the first deadline that matters.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 334220 · PSC 7G22 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 1 public contracting contact. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
