| Text2: Gator Tail hulls and motors have proven track record for reliability and dependability in both fresh and salt water environments, especially their high quality aluminum used in their hull design. Other brands and models may not provide such a high quality product need for the conditions. A reliable design must be used for emergency response use. |
| Text1: New boat, hull, and trailer need to be added to zone with addition of new officer. Currently, there is only a single surface drive boat in the zone which gets used daily/weekly. It is not feasible to have a single boat in the zone with the frequency of use and distance between refuges. This new boat, motor, and trailer would meet the challenges and needs across the zone for effective refuge law enforcement patrols to fulfill the mission of the Service. Previously, Gator Tail boats have been used and are very effective. This is a local company that provide a high quality product with local, high quality customer service. |

| Text6: Reviewed previous procurements for similar items. Attempts at competition on both GSA and SAM produced no results besides Gator Tail LLC directly. Sole Source is the feasible solution and acquisition strategy. | |

| Text5: Gator Tail must meet the requirements and specifications outlined in the quote. |
| Text3: Online market research. Other sources include Mud Buddy, Go Devil and Tracker. |
| Text4: Previous makes and models of surface drive vessels in salt and fresh water environments proved to be highly corrosive and destructive to boat hull, boat motors, trailers, and components. Gator Tail seems to be the only product that has been able to withstands those variable conditions. Also, Gator Tail offers a hull design that meets the needs of human barriers on Sabine NWR. This barriers include narrow structures both width and height that other similar makes and models will not fit through. |
