The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) is conducting a competitive procurement for up to two (2) airboats through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) numbered 1464-25-R-IFBD-00007-V01. The solicitation, which applies to Leflore County, seeks airboats with specific technical requirements including minimum specifications for boat length, width, motor displacement, horsepower, electrical components, and hull thickness. Interested vendors must submit their bids by October 9, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. CST, with the contract period running from 12/5/2024 through 12/4/2025. The evaluation process will focus on identifying the lowest and best bidder based on the detailed criteria outlined in the IFB document. Bidders are expected to meet all technical specifications and comply with the procurement regulations set forth by the state of Mississippi. The contract includes provisions for potential four one-year renewals, contingent upon mutual agreement between MDWFP and the selected vendor.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified in the documentation, and there are no apparent restrictions on vendor participation beyond meeting the technical specifications for the airboats. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the solicitation allows for procurement of up to two airboats, suggesting potential flexibility in vendor selection and contract value. The IFB includes standard terms and conditions covering applicable laws, availability of funds, and procurement regulations. The contract opportunity is limited to vendors capable of providing airboats that meet the precise technical requirements outlined in the solicitation, with an emphasis on quality, performance, and compliance with MDWFP's operational needs.
