BENTZ BOATS, LLC

Bentz Boats, LLC specializes in the custom design and construction of high-performance aluminum vessels, with demonstrated expertise in building single-engine jet boats tailored for demanding operational environments. Their technical capabilities encompass marine aluminum fabrication, hull engineering, propulsion system integration, and trailer design, ensuring vessels meet stringent durability, speed, and maneuverability requirements. The company’s focus on custom configurations—such as the 25-foot aluminum jet boat awarded by the Department of the Interior—reflects a specialization in mission-specific watercraft optimized for riverine operations, resource management, and remote-area access. Their craftsmanship emphasizes lightweight structural integrity, corrosion-resistant finishes, and precision engineering, setting them apart in niche markets requiring rugged, low-maintenance watercraft. The contractor has established a direct working relationship with the Department of the Interior, delivering specialized watercraft that support field operations for land and water resource management. This engagement suggests alignment with agency needs for reliable, non-intrusive transportation solutions in sensitive ecological zones, such as national parks, wildlife refuges, and remote river systems. The nature of the awarded vessel indicates a pattern of providing mission-critical assets for law enforcement, scientific survey, and emergency response teams operating in challenging aquatic terrain. Bentz Boats operates primarily within NAICS 336612, the boat building category, with a clear vertical specialization in custom aluminum jet boats rather than mass-produced recreational or commercial vessels. This positions them as a niche supplier for government and public sector entities requiring engineered watercraft that balance performance, durability, and operational adaptability. As a small business structured as a 2K entity, Bentz Boats is headquartered in Lewiston, Idaho, serving federal clients with localized manufacturing and responsive customization. The company currently holds no formal government certifications but leverages its technical precision and domain-specific experience to compete effectively in specialized government procurement markets.
