The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a sole source firm-fixed price contract to Gulfshore Manufacturing, Inc. DBA Young Boats, Inc. for the procurement of a 2027 SaltRiver 23 shallow-draft operations boat to support daily mission-critical operations at the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge.

Extensive market research confirmed no other vendor can meet all technical, performance, and logistical demands necessary for mission continuity. This is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal request for proposals will be issued. Interested parties may submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to fully satisfy all specified requirements, including technical equivalency, SAM.gov registration, delivery timelines, and proven product compatibility. Responses must be submitted via email to [email hidden] no later than August 14, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, and must include the business name and Unique Entity Identifier. Only submissions clearly proving full compliance with every requirement will be evaluated; submissions failing to meet any criterion will be disregarded. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the sole source award and will not reimburse any costs incurred by respondents. No telephone inquiries or offers will be accepted.
