Description

Background
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a study on big game movement and the use of wildlife crossing structures along Interstate 80 (I-80) in southern Wyoming.

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.

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.
