Smith Root Electro Fishing Equipment

Background
The Georgia Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit is seeking to enhance its capabilities for sampling various fish species in reservoirs and rivers. The goal of this contract is to procure a boat electrofishing control box unit along with associated booms and electrodes, aiming to maximize efficiency and standardization across different habitats while ensuring minimal injury to fish and reduced risk to human operators.

Work Details
The requirement includes the following items:
- Electrofishing control box unit
- Associated booms
- Electrodes

The system must be compatible with existing Smith-Root systems and designed for use in diverse aquatic environments, focusing on efficiency and safety.

Bidder Requirements
No specific bidder requirements are mentioned, but compatibility with existing Smith-Root systems is implied.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior award 140G0126P0086 was awarded to ETS Electrofishing Systems for a “BOAT ELECTROFISHING SYSTEM” valued at $11,240 (04/01/26–05/30/26), which appears closely related to the current requirement for a boat electrofishing control box unit along with associated booms and electrodes. Because both efforts involve supplying core electrofishing equipment for use in aquatic sampling, the prior work likely represents a continuation or similar procurement of the same type of system components.
