Katm 10158831 palayaq outboards repower

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Alaska Region has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Mercury outboard motors to be installed on the Palayaq Landing Craft at Katmai National Park. The solicitation seeks two 150 HP Mercury outboard motors and associated components as part of a complete powertrain replacement project for a 27-foot aluminum landing craft. The work includes removing existing Honda 150 HP outboard engines and installing new Mercury outboard motors with all necessary controls, meters, and steering components while ensuring proper installation with a sealed hull and maintaining ease of serviceability. The award will be made to the lowest-price technically acceptable offeror. Quotes are due by July 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM Alaska Time, with a period of performance from July 14, 2025, to July 13, 2026, and delivery required by July 13, 2026.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under solicitation number 140P9725Q0072. The project involves replacing the current Honda 150 HP outboard engines with Mercury equivalents, indicating that Honda may be the current equipment provider on the vessel. The contract specifically requires two 150 HP Mercury outboard motors along with all associated installation components and controls. The work will be performed at Katmai National Park in King Salmon, Alaska, with the National Park Service's Alaska Regional Office serving as the issuing agency. The project timeline spans one year, allowing contractors nearly twelve months to complete the powertrain replacement and delivery to the remote Alaska location.
