Notice of Proposed Sole Source Scope of Work and Sole Source Justification

NPSS1 PMAA 2026*0132

Two (2) 21' Aluminum Patrol Boats

Scope of Goods Please see linked document: 21’ Patrol Boat Spec Sheet. Please note that highlighted specifications are critical in nature and are included in the basis for the Sole Source justification. Two 21’ aluminum patrol boats that meet these requirements are proposed for purchase under this NPSS1.

Schedule and Term of Award A Purchase Order will be issued as soon as practical. The Sole Source Procurement end date is 9/30/2026.

Budget Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has budgeted an approximate amount of $297,000 for the needed goods.

Sole Source Justification Great Lakes Marine is the only authorized Yamaha Engine Dealer in Colorado. The need for the Yamaha engine is a critical safety and training requirement; all of CPW’s patrol boats have Yamaha engines, and all of the operators are trained to continually maintain these engines, and are able to handle mechanical issues as they arise. It is also important that operators can move from one unit to another and be able to safely operate the boats outside of their unit without prior training. An inexperienced operator dealing with a mechanical engine breakdown during an emergency rescue could represent a potential risk to public safety.

The Stanley 21’ Aluminum boat is the only boat that has the needed critical features as well as the Yamaha engine. Because Great Lakes Marine is the only Yamaha dealer in Colorado, no other vendor can be used for this purchase.

In addition, there are no other similar types of boats that can be custom wired and continually maintained by a certified mechanic in Colorado. Other makes of 21’ Aluminum Patrol Boat would need to be custom wired out of state and then a mechanic would need to be flown in for any maintenance - this would not only be costly for CPW, but it might also put the boat(s) out https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IDN7vzF4YQrRsCdyWw6UwuJ9RF3I7K04/view?usp=drive_link of commission for long periods of time, impeding or limiting CPW’s ability to do respond to emergencies.
