About this opportunity
The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking industry input on the availability and sourcing of Bombardier Recreational Product (BRP) Evinrude 55 Multi-Fuel Marine Engines for potential Marine Corps requirements. The procurement targets a highly specialized 55-horsepower outboard marine engine with stringent specifications including 20-inch shaft length, manual start capability, two-stroke fuel injection, multi-fuel capability for gasoline, JP-5 and JP-8, pump jet propulsion, and weight under 280 pounds. A critical requirement is that the engine must be capable of starting after complete rollover and submersion in three feet of water for 30 minutes. Vendors must provide proof of manufacturing or distribution agreements with BRP, estimated unit pricing, production capabilities, and compliance with Berry Amendment and Buy American Act requirements. The response deadline is September 17, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. EST, with submissions limited to a 15-page executive summary submitted electronically under RFI #M67854-25-I-1037.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors, though the RFI specifically encourages responses from various small business categories including 8(a), veteran-owned, woman-owned, and HUBZone businesses. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the documentation, and no specific award values, budget ranges, or quantities are disclosed as this represents preliminary market research rather than a formal solicitation. The RFI emphasizes that this constitutes market research under FAR Part 10 with no government obligation to pay for responses or proceed with a formal procurement. The unique nature of the multi-fuel capability and water immersion requirements suggests this is for specialized Marine Corps watercraft operations where standard commercial engines would be insufficient.
