19--SAFE Boat Parts

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Contracting and General Services Division in Portland, Oregon, plans to award a sole-source contract to SAFE Boats International, LLC, located in Bremerton, Washington, for the purchase and installation of a collar kit on a Safe boat at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. SAFE Boats International is the original manufacturer of the boat and the only commercial vendor capable of supplying the required custom-built parts, making them the exclusive source for this procurement. The contract will be awarded using other than full and open competition under FAR 6.302-1, and this notice serves as an announcement of intent rather than a request for proposals. This procurement is part of contract number F13PS00203, posted on February 5, 2013, under NAICS code 336612. Technical questions regarding the contract can be directed to John Klavitter, while contracting questions should be addressed to Karl Lautzenheiser. The award will be issued without further notice on the official federal contracting platform, highlighting the necessity of a sole-source award due to the unique nature of the required parts and the vendor’s exclusive capability to provide them.
