About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management issued this Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity on March 17, 2026, to support a single-source procurement of maritime equipment for the Royal Bahamas Defence Force without full and open competition. The acquisition covers up to four SAFE Boats International 41' Interceptor vessels, 16 Quad Mercury 400HP V10 Verado outboard engines, and associated spare parts, training, and multi-year support services, with the final quantity contingent upon available funding. The justification is grounded in mission-essential interoperability requirements, as the RBDF established these SAFE Boats vessels as the core component of their maritime interceptor fleet following a Direct Commercial Sale procurement of four identical vessels in January 2024, necessitating fleet standardization and leveraging existing maintenance capabilities and training investments. The procurement is structured as a competed task order under the existing GLOBALCAP IDIQ contract among small business holders, with the Contracting Officer determining that anticipated prices will be fair and reasonable based on adequate price competition among pre-qualified vendors. Contract 19AQMM26R0094 was awarded on March 16, 2026, though the vendor name and award amount remain redacted in the available documentation. The acquisition is justified under 41 U.S.C. 4103 and 4106 via FAR 16.505(a)(4) brand name justification, with technical and requirements certifications dated February 18, 2026.
Notice text
This justification pertains to a new task order to be competed among the small business holders of the
GLOBALCAP IDIQ contract. The task order will facilitate the procurement of up to four (4) maritime

final quantity contingent upon available funding within the estimated budget.
Certain equipment, specifically the vessels and their engines—must be of a specific make and model. This
