Work Boat Medium

This combined synopsis/solicitation is for the procurement of an estimated twenty-four (24) Work Boat Mediums to replace aging equipment under an Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract over the next five (5) years. The Work Boat Medium will be built to commercial standards and practices using Government specified requirements focused on boat compatibility constraints.

The Work Boat Medium will be procured utilizing a competitive small business set aside in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items.

The Government intends to award to the responsible Offeror(s) whose proposal is determined to offer the best value to the Government, using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation process. The base year order is estimated to be seven (7) Work Boat Mediums with an option of three (3) more Work Boat Mediums in the base year and subsequent options exercised over four (4) years. The exercise of options will be based on the needs of the Government and funding availability. The Government is not obligated to exercise options.
