Boat Motor Removal and Replacement

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking quotes for boat motor removal and replacement services for the BLM Lewistown Field Office in Montana. The project involves removing a Honda 200hp outboard jet drive motor, gauges, and control systems from a 20ft Wooldridge Alaskan River boat used for law enforcement and emergency services in the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, and replacing it with a Yamaha F200LC Jet motor system including associated components such as a Yamaha jet pump, controls/cables, hydraulic helm, and Yamaha gauges. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and will be evaluated based on price and past performance to determine the best value award. The original solicitation deadline of July 28, 2025 at 5:00 PM Mountain Time has been extended to August 4, 2025 at 5:00 PM Mountain Time via Amendment 0001. Quotes must remain valid for a minimum of 60 days, and the government requires submission of a completed Past Performance Questionnaire detailing relevant experience within the last three years.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 811198 (All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance) with a small business size standard of $10.0 million. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the solicitation documents. The period of performance has been adjusted to run from August 11, 2025 to October 31, 2025, providing approximately 2.5 months for project completion. The work must be performed at a mechanic or service shop located within 200 miles of Fort Benton, Montana, with the BLM responsible for delivering and picking up the boat. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed-price agreement using simplified acquisition procedures, and the contractor must ensure all boat functions operate properly after the complete motor system installation.
