This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation NNK16591261Q is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). NASA John F. Kennedy Space Center has a need for an airboat and trailer. It is an essential tool for the police department. The department currently has a fleet of two Diamondback airboats. The Diamondback Law Enforcement air boat provides Kennedy Space Center with the type of watercraft it requires to perform law enforcement / search and rescue and emergency tactical response for which airboats are uniquely designed to provide service and performance in a variety of adverse operating conditions found on Kennedy Space Center. First responders need a reliable, stable boat from which to orchestrate challenging rescue and tactical operations and rescue boaters, even while waves crash overboard. Diamond Back airboats are specially designed to keep responders safe in these precarious situations with a number of features like automatic bailing cockpits and flow-through transoms, polyurethane ruggedized collars, specialized electronics and tactical launching platforms to name a few. Strategically placed rescue doors enable responders to easily pull victims aboard. Augmentation to the fleet with another Diamondback will allow for interchangeability of parts from one airboat to another. Additionally, the workforce is familiar with the operation requirements of the Diamond Back airboats, eliminating the need for additional training needed if another manufacturer of airboat were purchased.
