Description

The U.S. Forest Service seeks 523 new, current-model autonomous bio-acoustic recorders, plus delivery, for passive acoustic monitoring. Units must be compact (no larger than 6 × 8 × 3 inches), weigh no more than 1.5 pounds with batteries, be weatherproof with integrated humidity controls, and support rechargeable 18650 lithium-ion batteries with at least 1,200 hours of battery life. Required features include SDXC storage up to 1 TB, 16-bit PCM WAV recording, Bluetooth programming through a mobile application, and scheduling that adjusts to seasonal sunrise and sunset times. Acoustic requirements include a frequency range of 8,000–96,000 Hz, a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 75 dB, and an anti-aliasing filter. The recorders must be turnkey and ready for field deployment, include a minimum two-year manufacturer’s warranty, and be delivered with at least one operator and programming manual per unit. The solicitation permits equivalent products meeting the stated characteristics. Offers are evaluated on technical capability, delivery timeline, and price; delivery within 60 days after receipt of order is required, with shorter timelines potentially evaluated more favorably.
