Lund 2075 Alaskan SS, motor & Galv Trailer Pkg

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, through the Office of State Procurement Services and on behalf of the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, is seeking competitive bids for a one-time purchase of a complete boat, motor, and trailer package. The solicitation requires a specific Lund 2075 Alaskan SS boat with an additional seat and pedestal in gray, green, or blue, accompanied by a 90-horsepower Yamaha 4-stroke outboard motor and a galvanized boat trailer with appropriately rated rollers. These watercraft will be utilized to conduct fish population surveys across Maine's large waters under challenging conditions. Quotations must be submitted electronically through the State of Maine's Advantage Vendor Self Service (VSS) system by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 7, 2026. Delivery is mandated by May 1, 2026, to the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife facility located at 19 Village Street, Greenville, Maine. The State will evaluate bids on a best value basis, selecting the lowest-priced qualified bidder who meets all specifications, with bidders required to submit product data sheets, warranty information, and equivalency documentation for any proposed alternate items.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the solicitation. The State anticipates making a single award and reserves the right to negotiate with the successful bidder or withdraw the award and negotiate with the next-highest ranked bidder if an acceptable contract cannot be finalized. No best and final offer process will be conducted, meaning vendors must submit their most competitive pricing initially. The State is exempt from Federal, State, and local taxes on articles not for resale, and vendors should exclude these taxes from their quotations. Payment terms are expected to be net 30 upon receipt of an accurate invoice containing the State contract number and correct pricing information. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement appears to be for a single boat, motor, and trailer package, suggesting a moderate-value contract. Bidders should note that the State retains sole discretion to cancel the Request for Quotation at any time during the procurement process.
