The following is the Item description MULTI FUEL OUTBOARD ENGINE (NSN# 2805-01-555-6505)

The Evinrude’s Multi-Fuel Engine is the first outboard engine capable of running on multiple fuel types including standard gasoline, kerosene, and even jet fuel. While not designated as Evinrude E-TEC engines, the E- TEC technology is incorporated throughout the motor, including E-TEC injectors, the fuel system and an onboard computer. The E-TEC technology that the government depends on is available for civilian-use with the other Evinrude E-TEC engine horsepower ranges. Additional MFE innovations include special cylinder sleeve oiling, modified deflector pins and unique engine mapping systems. The MFE boasts minimal engine noise and low exhaust emissions. The multi-fuel outboard and its boat can be launched from a submerged submarine or airdropped from a helicopter or C-130 Hercules cargo plane. The MFE allows the military to transport outboards via aircraft or ships without having to deal with volatile gasoline fumes.

SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION (SEE FAR 2.101 & 3.104) Page 5 of 6

Information received regarding the commerciality of the item(s): based on market research information and Internet search the item is considered commercial. BRP US Inc (1UVT5) has provided enough evidence that supports this item is available to the commercial market since it is available for purchase via U.S. General Services Administration, GSA Advantage Program, Schedule 84, contract # GS-07F-0066H. Furthermore, BRP’s indicated that the outboard engine (E55MJRL) is a commercial-off-the-shelf product and the multi fuel outboard engine, part number E55MJRLSC for this requirement is modified to meet the Federal Government requirement. BRP US Inc (1UVT5) indicated the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) requires that all outboard engine manufacturers meet certain clean air standards on all fuels. The multi fuel outboards engine (E55MJRLSC) can run all JP fuels (kerosene based), gas and diesel. The engine for this procurement (E55MJRLSC) meets all EPA requirements while running on gasoline, but due to the multi fuel capabilities, the multi fuel engines are unable to meet the stringent clean air requirements set in place by the EPA on the JP and diesel fuels. Therefore, BRP US Inc (1UVT5) was granted a military use EPA waiver for the multi fuel outboard engines (E55MJRLSC). This waiver allows BRP US Inc (1UVT5) to sell the multi fuel outboards (E55MJRLSC) only to the Department of Defense agencies.

The main commercial part, E55MJRL is available for purchase via U.S. General Services Administration, GSA Advantage Program, Schedule 84, contract # GS-07F-0066H. Therefore, this item is deemed commercial and FAR 12 procedures will be utilized.
