This is a Sole or Limited Sources Justification form documenting the rationale for a brand name acquisition of Yamaha outboard engines and associated equipment. The procurement involves removing current outboards from two SFA 38ft Boats and installing six new Yamaha 300 hp outboards, specifically: two F300XCB engines, two LF300XCB engines, and two F30UCB engines. The package includes electronic controls, engine shift and throttle control stations, wire harnesses, CL5 gauge kits, and propellers.

The justification cites compatibility with existing equipment and certified Yamaha technicians as key rationale, noting that replacement parts and specialty tools on hand are Yamaha-specific. Additionally, the current engines are no longer manufactured, creating maintenance and spare parts challenges. The procurement will be advertised in accordance with Agency procedures and competed within small business. The acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items, with the United States Special Operations Command as the requesting agency.
