Boat Trailer for 25' Safeboat

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), under the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a Special Notice regarding the procurement of four boat trailers specifically designed for 25-foot Safeboats with full cabins. This is a single source, non-competitive procurement action that will be awarded directly to Advance Boat Trailers Inc. based in Jacksonville, Florida. The notice serves as an advance notification rather than a request for competitive quotes, and no formal solicitation will be posted. The procurement is set aside for total small business participation and falls under NAICS code 441222 (Boat Dealers) with a Product Service Code of 2090 for miscellaneous ship and marine equipment. FLETC intends to award a firm fixed-price contract for new equipment only, with all items required to be covered by manufacturer warranties.

The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire specialized boat trailers that can accommodate FLETC's 25-foot Safeboats, with each trailer requiring specific configurations including a vertical winch stand and boarding ladder. The single source justification is based on utilizing a local vendor to minimize travel distance, transportation time, and costs while avoiding disruptions to scheduled training classes. FLETC will transport each boat to the vendor's facility to ensure proper trailer fitting and configuration. The procurement has an extremely tight timeline with a due date of August 27, 2025, just one day after the posting date of August 26, 2025. All equipment must be delivered FOB destination to FLETC's facility in Brunswick, Georgia, with the seller responsible for shipping costs and risk of loss until delivery. While designated as a total small business set-aside, all responsible sources are invited to submit quotations for agency consideration.
