Twin Vee Boat Requirement

RFQ# 140F1S26Q0055

Q&A

1. Would an aluminum-built alternative that fully meets or exceeds all required performance, dimensional, and operational specifications be considered acceptable for evaluation under this requirement, or is the solicitation strictly limited to the specified Twin Vee fiberglass configuration?

A fiberglass hull is the best design for us in this open water environment, as we do transport sensitive survey equipment, spotting scopes, and potentially UAS's and the fiberglass design provides for a much smoother ride, especially when the boat is loaded down. We've also found that 'beaching' the fiberglass hull seems to work well when approaching these barrier islands.
