Miami USERT Boat Slip Rental

The Federal Bureau of Investigation intends to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Harbour Towne Marina LLC for the annual rental of a boat slip at its facility in Dania Beach, Florida, to support the operational readiness of the FBI Miami Division’s Underwater Search and Evidence Response Team. The slip must accommodate a 34-foot rigid hull inflatable boat and provide continuous shore power, potable water, on-site fueling, a boat ramp, controlled access, and 24-hour video surveillance, with unrestricted access to the Atlantic Ocean and a minimum water depth of four feet at low tide. No drawbridges or trailering are permitted, and the location must be within approximately 20 miles of the Miami Field Office to ensure rapid response capabilities. The estimated value of the contract is $38,136 for the period from September 29, 2026, through September 28, 2027. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.102(a)(1) due to the determination that only Harbour Towne Marina meets all essential operational requirements, making competition impractical. The agency issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source and invited other responsible sources to submit capability statements and quotations by August 2, 2026, to confirm the absence of viable alternatives, but no competition is anticipated unless new evidence emerges. All submissions must be sent electronically to Contracting Officer David P. Yates at DPYates@fbi.gov. The agency will evaluate responses using binary pass/fail criteria against mandatory technical specifications, with no weighting or trade-off analysis applied. No formal contract clauses, representations, certifications, or invoicing procedures are detailed in the documentation, as the justification remains focused on the unique mission necessity and singular source qualification under applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation authority.
