Yamaha Outboard Motor & Rigging-27' SAFEBOAT

This solicitation, issued by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) under solicitation number DEEP120225RP, invites bids for Yamaha outboard motors and rigging specifically tailored for a 27-foot SAFEBOAT. The procurement period opens on December 2, 2025, and closes on December 30, 2025, with installation and delivery taking place in Connecticut, notably at the agency’s Hartford location. A distinctive requirement of this contract is that while the motors will be installed by a certified DEEP mechanic, the vendor must conduct a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) post-installation to ensure Yamaha warranty compliance. The contract is solicited as an Invitation to Bid without line-item pricing or detailed cost breakdowns and is presumed to be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, emphasizing compliance with installation certification and warranty inspection over extensive evaluation criteria. The solicitation includes standard bid terms and contract forms referenced in attached documents, though specific FAR clauses, detailed packaging or labeling requirements, and payment or invoicing instructions are not explicitly disclosed. The vendor must submit bids electronically by the deadline via the Connecticut procurement portal, adhering to prescribed PDF formats. While there is no explicit reference to socioeconomic set-asides, size standards, or federal certifications, compliance with technical specifications and warranty provisions is critical. Contract administration is managed through a single point of contact, Sgt. Greg Ulkus of Connecticut DEEP, who is accessible for inquiries. Although technical specifications and terms are contained in referenced attachments like “Bid Specs.pdf” and “DEEP Standard Bid Terms and Conditions.pdf,” these were not provided, limiting insight into detailed performance standards or contract clauses. Overall, this procurement focuses on the delivery and warranty-compliant installation of Yamaha motors, ensuring operational readiness of the 27’ SAFEBOAT within a short performance window in December 2025.
