This document is a Single Brand Determination form for a new Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District. The procurement involves purchasing seven (7) Mercury Marine Verado 250 XL outboard motors to replace existing equipment at the Dworshak Dam and Reservoir. The estimated contract price is $169,726.70, with additional costs for potential modifications to vessel in-cab controls, transom mounting locations, and hydraulic steering components estimated at $10,800.

The justification emphasizes standardization of outboard motors for maintenance personnel familiarity, ensuring spare parts availability, and compatibility with existing vessel equipment. The procurement will be solicited on SAM.gov as a small business set-aside, with market research indicating multiple distributors of the Mercury Marine Verado motor line. The document notes that the current outboard motors are old and often unreliable, with vessels averaging 1,500 hours of runtime. The contract aims to replace these motors efficiently while maintaining the existing vessel infrastructure with minimal additional expenses.
