The USGS Cooperative Research Units in Reston, VA, seeks GPS tracking collars for studying black bear movement ecology in South Carolina, with a focus on road-crossing behavior and habitat use. The collars must meet specific technical requirements, including Iridium satellite data transmission, a programmable GPS fix rate of 5 minutes or less, and a remote drop-off mechanism. This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research and planning purposes only, not a solicitation or request for proposals. The anticipated procurement is a firm fixed-price contract expected in FY26, with no budget amount specified. Performance of services is for field work in South Carolina, supporting the South Carolina Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Clemson University.
