Collins, CO intends to award a sole source, purchase order to Vectronic Aerospace, Inc. UEI: L7YWRNDH4LR7 for the supply of 40 VERTEX Lite-IRIDIUM-with 2D Battery collars.
Reasons for Authority Cited: This requirement is applicable to FAR 13.106(b)(1), "For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.

Precise locational information is essential to informing risks especially when determining what food sources are being consumed, contact rates of animals, and locations of mortality. Traditionally, VHF radio collars were used to collect this type of information, though have been replaced recently by collars providing far less locational uncertainty by incorporating global positioning systems (GPS). By using GPS collars, animal locations are obtained with much less effort and are more reliable and spatially accurate. Most recently, GPS technology has advanced further to the point of allowing two-way communication (i.e., via Iridium satellites) between collars and researchers collecting information. These communications enable researchers to acquire locational information remotely without recapturing the animal to retrieve data on the collar. Researchers are also able to change location recording schedules and collar drop-off dates remotely and as needed throughout a study to get more information or even to get less informatio... - Documents:
