Broadband Split-Beam Echosounder

Oregon State University intends to contract for the provision of an EK80 broadband split-beam echosounder from Kongsberg Underwater Technology as a sole source because of the uniqueness (design, capability, nature) of the goods and/or services and the contractor being the single provider of the goods and/or services. Equipment must be verifiably accurate in mapping forage species in the water column and use broadband transmission and reception in quantifying the attributes of acoustic targets. An entity may appeal this determination in accordance with OSU Standard 03-010. Section 5.17 no later than the closing date indicated on the website. Appeals must be submitted to Procurement, Contracts and Materials Management at pacs@oregonstate.edu by 09/07/2023 at 2:30pm PST.
