This Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) document details a sole source procurement by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) to acquire four Eduardoño interceptor boats for the Ecuadorian Coast Guard. The procurement includes two Military Patrol Boats 320 and two Military Patrol Boats 380, each equipped with specific Yamaha outboard engines (F250HETX, FL250HETX, and F250HETU), designed to support maritime interdiction operations in the Gulf of Guayaquil and Manta for countering narcotrafficking.

The contract will be a firm fixed-price procurement, with a market survey confirming only one vendor can provide the specific boats. The boats are intended to strengthen the Ecuadorian Navy's maritime interdiction capability by maintaining a standardized fleet with compatible spare parts and trained personnel. The vendor must deliver the boats within 12 months of award, conduct on-site assembly, and perform sea trials in Guayaquil, Ecuador, following American Bureau of Shipping standards. The solicitation (191NLE25Q0048) has a submission deadline of 12:00 PM EST on August 1, 2025, with award to be made based on lowest price and technical acceptability.
