AI Contract Overview
The Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is seeking two brand-new, purpose-built Fast Response Boats (FRBs) designed for professional maritime law enforcement operations under a firm fixed price contract to enhance the capacity of Pakistan’s Maritime Security Agency (PMSA). The vessels must meet stringent specifications, including a full-cabin hybrid rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) design comparable to the Zodiac Milpro SRA 1050, constructed from heavy-duty marine-grade 5083 aluminum, equipped with twin 200–300 HP outboard engines, capable of 40–45 knots under operational load, and fitted with full navigation, communication, and safety systems compliant with SOLAS, IMO, COLREGS, ISO, and ABYC standards. Each boat must include one road-transportable trailer, a comprehensive spare parts package, and complete documentation such as owner’s manuals, maintenance guides, engine manuals, parts catalogs, warranty information, and compliance certificates. Delivery is required to PMSA headquarters in Karachi, Pakistan, via sea freight to Karachi Port, with the contractor responsible for all local trucking costs from port to final destination. The delivery timeline is set between nine and twelve months after contract award, contingent on the timely receipt of any required export license, with a target delivery date of May 31, 2027. Alongside the vessels, the contractor must provide comprehensive on-site training to 24 PMSA operators and 24 maintenance personnel at PMSA facilities in Pakistan. Training consists of a five-day operator session and a three-day maintenance session, delivered by qualified manufacturer representatives, and must include all necessary training materials. Performance evaluation will consider specifications compliance, delivery and logistics feasibility, warranty terms and service locations, the presence of an after-sales support network in Pakistan, past performance verified by at least three similar vessel contracts within the last two years, and price—all weighed to determine best value, with the government reserving the right to award to a non-lowest bidder. Submissions must be organized into three volumes—technical, price, and business—with strict format, language, and file type requirements, and are due by August 13, 2026, to the designated point of contact. The contracting office requires full compliance with FAR clauses including 52.212-4 and 52.212-5, and additional special requirements such as ISPM 15-compliant packaging,
