About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking to procure a comprehensive fishing boat package for aquatic invasive species detection, specifically requesting one Lund Adventure 1775 SS or DNR-comparable boat with a 90HP motor and trailer. The solicitation, posted on March 3, 2025, requires vendors to submit responses through the SWIFT Supplier Portal by March 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT. The boat package must include specific equipment specifications, such as a MinnKota Ulterra trolling motor, Humminbird Helix 7 depth finder, smooth move seats, bimini top, and swim ladder. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted in writing to sheri.karpenko@state.mn.us by the same deadline, with responses provided via addendum. The contract term is anticipated to run from March 15, 2025, to September 30, 2025, with delivery required to the DNR MR R1 NW Region in Bemidji, Minnesota by May 1, 2025. Evaluation will focus on product documentation, specifications compliance, and required attachments.
The solicitation offers preference points for targeted group businesses, with up to 12% preference for certified veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged, and small businesses, and an additional 6% preference for eligible DEED/DHS providers. Environmental preferences are also considered when recycled materials do not exceed non-recycled materials by more than 10%. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract requires vendors to be authorized dealers or resellers of the specified equipment. Bidders must provide detailed specifications for all offered equipment, including warranty information with a minimum of one year for boats and trailers and two years for motors. The procurement allows for small, minority-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned businesses to participate through the state's Small Business Procurement Program, though this is not a set-aside opportunity. Vendors must complete multi-factor authentication in the SWIFT Supplier Portal and are encouraged to review all attachments, including the Responder Declarations and Veterans Preference Form.
