Boat Motor replacemnet/installation

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management is seeking sources for a boat motor replacement and installation project for the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. The project involves removing a Honda 200hp outboard jet drive, gauges, and control systems from a 20ft Wooldridge Alaskan river boat and installing a new Yamaha F200LC motor, jet pump, controls, hydraulic helm, and associated components. The service location must be within approximately 200 miles of Fort Benton, Montana, as this vessel serves as the primary law enforcement and emergency services boat for the national monument. Potential vendors are required to provide their business name, Unique Entity Identification (UEI) number, email, repair shop location, and estimated project price magnitude. The Sources Sought notice was posted on June 3, 2025, with responses due by June 10, 2025, indicating a short response window for interested contractors.

This pre-solicitation notice is not set aside for any specific small business category and falls under the NAICS category 811198 for Automotive Repair and Maintenance and PSC category 2805 for Gasoline Reciprocating Engines. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the document suggests vendors should be prepared to provide price magnitude estimates for the motor replacement and installation. The project is critical for maintaining emergency response capabilities in the national monument, which implies that technical expertise, proximity to the service location, and the ability to quickly and effectively complete the motor replacement will likely be key evaluation criteria. The scope of work involves a comprehensive motor and system replacement, indicating that vendors should have specialized marine engine installation and repair capabilities. Although no incumbent contractor is mentioned, the specificity of the requirements suggests the Bureau of Land Management has precise technical needs for this maritime equipment upgrade.
