About this opportunity
The Hyannis Fire Department (HYFD) in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, is soliciting bids for a specialized 32-foot welded aluminum high-speed landing craft fireboat through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) released on September 9, 2025. The procurement seeks a fully outfitted vessel to support critical maritime operations including firefighting, rescue, towing, diving, and transport. Specific technical requirements include twin 300 HP outboard motors, a Darley 1500 GPM fire pump, Garmin electronics, Maxwell anchor system, and dive ladders. Bidders must submit three hard copies with a USB drive by the October 15, 2025, 4 PM EST deadline, accompanied by documentation such as a non-collusion form and tax compliance certificate. The comprehensive proposal must include a cover letter, detailed technical proposal, itemized price proposal, delivery schedule, and references from similar projects. Evaluation criteria appear to emphasize technical specifications, operational capabilities, and vendor experience, with the award anticipated on or before October 22, 2025.
The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement requires vendors to be qualified boat manufacturers capable of designing and constructing a highly specialized maritime vessel with extensive technical capabilities. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the bid documents mandate a minimum 5-year hull warranty, 2-year engine warranty, and 2-year warranty on installed equipment. The successful vendor must also provide on-site operational training of at least 4 hours and comprehensive manuals and maintenance documentation. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the fireboat suggest a significant investment, likely in the range of several hundred thousand dollars. The comprehensive requirements indicate HYFD is seeking a high-performance, durable vessel that can effectively support maritime emergency response operations.
