17-21 FT Inflatable Boat

The state of Washington, through the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), is seeking bids for a 17-21 ft Inflatable Boat to be used for motorboat training purposes. The procurement is in the form of a Request for Quotation (RFQ), with a due date of February 7, 2024, at 4:00 PM. WDFW is looking for one unit that meets detailed specifications, including structural, mechanical, and auxiliary requirements. The preferred hull type is fiberglass, and the boat must include an outboard engine and trailer. WDFW will handle all title and licensing, and the vendor must provide the necessary paperwork. The required delivery date is initially set for March 31, 2024, but WDFW is open to extending the timeline to the end of June if no other acceptable bids are received.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who is a small business or veteran-owned business, unless none qualify. WDFW is attempting to minimize the use of products with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in its procurement, so the RFQ requests that any packaging be without color or dyes. No other set-aside designations, restrictions, incumbent vendors, or budget ranges are provided in the documentation.
