23--AK-KENAI NWR-MOTORS FOR PATROL BOAT

The contract solicitation 140FS126Q0089, issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s SAT Team 1 under the Department of the Interior, seeks the procurement of two Honda BF150 DXDA outboard engines or approved equivalents for installation on a patrol vessel operating in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska. This is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with a partial small business set-aside, requiring offerors to be registered in SAM and to self-certify as a small business concern to qualify under the Small Business Program. The work involves replacing and installing the engines, complete with rigging, controls, wiring, and installation hardware, at a designated location near the refuge, with performance scheduled between June 1 and July 1, 2026. The vessel must support sustained law enforcement patrols, search and rescue missions, and rapid emergency response in rough water and adverse Alaskan weather conditions, and all work must comply with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, and OSHA safety standards as well as manufacturer specifications. Acceptance is determined solely by the Government at the performance location after successful on-water testing and documentation review, with no FOB terms specified. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and no payments will be processed via WAWF. The contract includes mandatory flow-down of the small business utilization clause to subcontracts meeting specified thresholds and applies a range of compliance provisions including whistleblower protections, equal opportunity, human trafficking prevention, and prohibitions on contracting with entities tied to Kaspersky Lab, ByteDance, American Security Drone Act-covered foreign entities, and other restricted vendors. Offerors must certify their entity ID, size status, and ownership structure, disclose any covered telecommunications equipment, and comply with sustainable procurement mandates related to bio-based products, energy efficiency, and environmental stewardship. Proposals must be submitted electronically by May 11, 2026, to the designated point of contact, with questions due by May 5, 2026. No pricing details, CLINs, or contract value are disclosed, and the award will be based on a trade-off analysis of technical merit, past performance, and price, not on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis.
