Airboat Builds, Repairs, Engines and Trailers

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive bids for building three (3) airboats, repairing one (1) airboat, and providing engines and trailers. The intent is to obtain the best overall pricing for these projects, which have detailed technical specifications for the hull construction, seating, propeller guards, engines, trailers and more. Responsive and responsible contractors will be considered for award, with the contract being effective for one year from issuance of the Purchase Order, with potential for extension. Bids are due by June 28, 2023 at 2:00 PM ET, and the FWC has an estimated budget of $300,000 for this project, reserving the right to contract for those projects for which funding is currently available if the bids exceed the available budget.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, with no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The FWC has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there are no requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology. The contract award will be made to the responsive, responsible bidder submitting the lowest total bid price across the four projects.
