20--Volvo Penta Aquamatic Drives

The National Park Service has awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to FSR Consulting LLC, a small business, for the procurement of two Volvo Penta Aquamatic Duoprop Outdrives (MFG Part #23548865) for the Munson Landing Craft Vessel at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Empire, Michigan. The total contract value is $30,020.00. This brand-name-only acquisition was justified due to the unique compatibility requirements of the vessel's existing Volvo Penta D6-310 engine, as alternative products would cause operational and safety issues. The contract requires delivery of the outdrives within 90 calendar days of the award, which occurred around March 2026. The contractor is required to coordinate with the delivery point of contact one week prior to shipment. Administrative requirements include electronic invoicing via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) and compliance with various Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including those regarding small business utilization, supply chain security, and commercial product terms. The contract was managed by the Ohio Major Acquisition Buying Office, with Jarrod Brown serving as the primary point of contact.
