29' Search and Rescue Patrol Vessel

The District of Columbia is seeking procurement for a 29' Search and Rescue Patrol Vessel through a competitive bidding process with a proposal submission deadline of August 9, 2019. This procurement appears to be focused on acquiring a specialized marine vessel for search and rescue operations, likely for emergency services or maritime law enforcement agencies within the District. The contract opportunity, identified by the unique state contract ID 66c85807829eb5d869070a26, requires vendors to provide a fully equipped patrol vessel meeting specific maritime safety and operational standards. Potential bidders must submit comprehensive proposals demonstrating their capability to deliver a vessel that meets the District's precise requirements for search and rescue missions. The procurement timeline indicates the opportunity was initially posted on July 27, 2019, with a relatively short window for potential vendors to prepare and submit their detailed proposals.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, local government procurements often have provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises or local vendor preferences. The potential award value for a specialized 29' search and rescue vessel would likely range between $150,000 to $300,000, depending on specific equipment, customization, and technology integration requirements. Vendors responding to this opportunity should be prepared to demonstrate extensive maritime vessel manufacturing experience, compliance with federal and local maritime safety regulations, and the technical capability to deliver a fully operational search and rescue patrol vessel. Given the specialized nature of the procurement, potential bidders are likely to include marine vessel manufacturers, emergency response equipment suppliers, and specialized maritime engineering firms with experience in constructing public safety vessels.
