- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, Eastern Acquisition Division-Kansas City (EAD-KC) and the National Marine Fisheries in Beaufort, NC intend to award a purchase order to Amirix Systems. The Purchase Order will be for 125 Acoustic Transmitter Tags and 10 Acoustic Receivers to investigate the movements of American shad in the Western portions of Albemarle Sound, North Carolina. The tags and receivers are needed to be added to a network of 40 receivers already in place at 31 locations in Albemarle Sound, Chowan River, Roanoke River, and their tributary rivers. The acoustic tags must be sufficiently small so that they can be safely implanted in American shad (no larger than 9 mm diameter and no more 30 mm long), ping at 69.0 kHz, and use unique A69-1601 Global Code space. The acoustic receivers must allow for rapid uploads using Bluetooth technology, have 8 megabytes of data storage, receive at a frequency of 69.0 kHz, and have a minimum battery life of 400 days. The tags and receivers must fully function in a wide variety of habitats, including rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Vemco tags are the only ones specifically designed for implanting into American Shad and the only ones shown to not alter fish behavior in ways that could render the data useless The NAICS code for this requirement is 335999.
