FWC SS 22/23-08 Safe Boats

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking to replace and modify the generators on its SAFE 38 Full Cabin vessels. The FWC must use the manufacturer, SAFE Boats International, LLC, for the replacement and installation of the new generators, including modification of the vessels, as the vessels are under warranty and using other vendors would void the warranty. The FWC is requesting information from prospective vendors regarding their ability to supply the required commodities or services. The contract term is 3 years upon issuance of the initial Purchase Order, and the estimated dollar amount for this single-source procurement is $400,000. Prospective vendors must provide information in writing regarding their ability to supply the commodities or contractual services described in the attached specifications by November 22, 2022 at 2:30 PM ET.

This is a single-source procurement, meaning the FWC believes the services or commodities are only available from a single source. The FWC must use SAFE Boats International, LLC, as the manufacturer of the vessels, to maintain the warranty. The Contractor/Vendor ultimately selected for this contract must warrant that it has the capability to fully perform the contract requirements and the integrity and reliability to ensure good-faith performance as a responsible vendor, and must comport with Chapter 287, F.S., and all other applicable rules and laws.
