RFQ-751-260000000373-3 | Boston Whaler 210 Guardian Boat Package / APPROVED ALTERNATE

The solicitation RFQ-751-260000000373-3 issued by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources seeks a single complete Boston Whaler 210 Guardian boat package including boat, Mercury outboard motor, and galvanized tandem-axle trailer with disc brakes, all new and model year 2026 or newer. The procurement is brand-specific with no substitutions permitted unless explicitly authorized under the “APPROVED ALTERNATE” designation, which references a pending revision of specifications allowing comparable vessels to be considered. Delivery must be made FOB destination to 1732 West M32, Gaylord, MI 49735, with the vendor bearing all transportation costs and risks until receipt. The boat must feature a white gelcoat unsinkable fiberglass hull, 200 HP capacity, T-top, Garmin 943XS/NSX navigation, WHELEN ION LED strobes and siren, Seadeck flooring, dual GR27 AGM batteries, and a 10-year hull warranty. The trailer must be compatible, equipped with a swing tongue, spare tire, and proper lighting. Bidders are required to respond through the SIGMA VSS portal, submitting completed Schedule A and SDVOB documentation if applicable, with no deviations allowed unless clearly listed. All proposals must be received by July 31, 2026, and are valid for 60 days from submission. Payment will be processed electronically via EFT upon invoice submission through SIGMA VSS, with terms of Net 45 days. The State of Michigan retains the right to inspect and accept delivery at the destination location, rejecting any shipment with overages or shortages exceeding five percent. No formal FAR clauses are applied, as this is a state-level solicitation governed by Michigan procurement rules that override vendor terms. The contracting office is under the DNR Law Enforcement Division, with Lisa Crozier-Green as the primary point of contact for inquiries. Only one socioeconomic consideration is required: vendors identifying as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses must submit certifying documentation. There are no options, modifications, or additional contract clauses specified beyond brand exclusivity, delivery terms, warranty, and compliance requirements. The contract value is not yet determinable as pricing fields remain blank pending vendor quotes. The NAICS code 336612 applies, and the solicitation targets SLED entities with no formal set-aside designated.
