Lund Alaskan 1875 SS boat, motor and trailer pkg

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, specifically the Office of State Procurement Services and acting on behalf of the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, is seeking quotations for a one-time purchase of a complete boat, motor, and trailer package. The procurement requires a Lund Alaskan 1875 SS boat with specific features including side console steering, a minimum 20-gallon internal fuel tank, flat vinyl non-slip flooring, open bow design, and at least two movable seats. The boat must be paired with a Yamaha F75LB outboard motor featuring remote mechanical operation, electric start, a 20-inch long shaft, and power trim/tilt, along with a galvanized boat trailer rated for the total equipment weight. Quotations are due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 7, 2026, and must be submitted through the State of Maine's e-Procurement Vendor Self Service system. The evaluation will be conducted on a best value basis, with award going to the lowest-priced qualified bidder who meets all specifications, and bidders must submit cost quotations, product data sheets, warranty information, and equivalency documentation for any alternate items proposed. Delivery to the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife location in Ashland, Maine is required by May 1, 2026, with a minimum of two business days' notice before delivery.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The State reserves the right to negotiate the purchase of additional units at the bid price for six months following the initial award and can choose not to award to the lowest-priced bidder if the vendor has documented poor performance or terminated contracts within the past five years. Pricing must be quoted on a Free on Board (FOB) Destination basis, inclusive of all shipping charges, with the State exempt from federal, state, and local taxes. The State will process invoices on net 30 terms upon receipt of accurate documentation containing the contract number and correct pricing. Bidders must affirm compliance with specifications and may be required to provide proof of compliance within 48 hours of request. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single boat, motor, and trailer package intended for fisheries and wildlife work on large northern Maine water bodies from April through November. The State anticipates making one award and retains the flexibility to adjust procurement parameters based on the received quotations.
