About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum is seeking a contractor to provide a custom-built 16-foot electrofishing boat with comprehensive specifications including all-welded construction, specialized electrofishing equipment, and associated support systems. The procurement requires a vessel that exceeds USCG guidelines with specific dimensional requirements including a 60-inch bottom, 24-inch sides, and 20-inch transom designed to accommodate a 30hp Suzuki outboard motor. Key technical requirements include an MLES Infinity Control Box with 40-amp unit capability, DC output power with square wave functionality delivering 5500 watts continuous and 24000+ watt pulsed power, along with comprehensive safety features and navigation equipment. The solicitation also requires a complete package including two push-out electrofishing booms, collapsible anode arrays, a 5kw Honda generator, a tiller steer 30hp outboard motor, and a custom-built single axle aluminum trailer. Proposals are due by June 30, 2025, with the solicitation having been posted on June 3, 2025, though specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided notice.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business entities. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation notice, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed. The contract involves the delivery of a single custom electrofishing boat system with all specified components and equipment, representing a one-time procurement rather than ongoing services. Performance will take place at East End Road, Tennessee 42223, and the contractor will be required to provide on-site training as part of the deliverable package. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC code 1920 (Fishing Vessels), reflecting the specialized nature of the watercraft construction and marine equipment integration required.

Update #2 · Latest ·

Amendment / Update is to adjust the original posted specs as the end user has now requested console steering with a 40HP motor rather than a 30HP tiller steer.
