RFQ for Yanmar Boat Engines

The United States Naval Academy is soliciting four Yanmar BOMG 4JH57 engines with KM4A1 transmissions and four associated 125-amp alternator kits under solicitation N0018926QL151, a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 333618. This firm fixed price RFQ requires vendors to provide complete engine packages including Yanmar flex mounts, electric stop solenoid, 12V electric start, 5-meter harness, 3-inch U-type elbow, keyless digital C panel, operator's manual, and primary fuel/water separator, with each engine system requiring full DoD-compliant unique item identification per MIL-STD-130 and DFARS 252.211-7003. The alternator kits must include specific part numbers for the alternator, kit, and excite12 harness. All vendors must submit an authorized reseller letter from Yanmar; failure to do so renders the quote unacceptable. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 2:00 p.m. local time on May 27, 2026, and must be structured into two separate volumes: a technical section excluding all pricing information and a separate price section containing itemized CLIN pricing with supporting documentation. Quotes must remain firm for sixty days after the closing date. Delivery is due on or before July 31, 2026, to the Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, under FOB destination terms. All items must be marked and packaged per MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-130 with machine-readable unique identifiers, and receiving reports must be submitted electronically through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) in compliance with DFARS 252.232-7003. Contractors must be registered in SAM and certified for WAWF access. The solicitation incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses including prohibitions on covered defense telecommunications equipment, foreign-made unmanned aircraft systems, trafficking in persons, and compliance with Buy American requirements. Deviations exist for several clauses including security prohibitions and subcontracting rules. Technical evaluation is a pass/fail gate—any unacceptable rating disqualifies the offer regardless of price. While price reasonableness is evaluated, the government reserves the right to award to a non-lowest bidder based on overall advantage. Vendors must also maintain current SAM
