61--Generator

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service plans to award a sole source contract to Global Thermoelectric Corporation for 2 ea Model # 5060 Generators for the Columbia River Fisheries Program Office. This office believes that Global Thermoelectric Corporation is the sole developer and manufacturer for this Generator. Global thermoelectric generators are the perfect match for the unattended, continuous power requirements of our remote PIT Tag Antenna Stations in order to fulfill the objectives of the Bulltrout Recovery Plan. They work ideally in remote locations in harsh environments, have low maintenance requirements and minimal gas consumption. This synopsis is a notice of intent to issue award using other than full and open competition and should not be a request for competitive proposals. The determination of the Government not to open subject requirement to full and open competition was made IAW FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1).
