Optimax 110 Jet Repair

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) is conducting a limited solicitation for the supply and installation of a new powerhead for a 2009 Mercury Optimax 110 HP Jet (Model Number 1-11047JHD). The procurement requires a vendor to fully replace the powerhead and subsequently return the boat to 385 Fish Hatchery Road in Libby, Montana. The solicitation was released on 10/27/2020, with bids opening on 10/28/2020 and closing on 11/18/2020 at 5:00 PM MST. The required service delivery period spans from 11/20/2020 to 12/31/2020, and the procurement is classified under commodity code 5116 for Vehicles - Repairs/Maintenance. Vendors must complete a contractor information form and a Dark Money Declaration form as part of Executive Order No. 15-2018, with Amanda Battin serving as the primary contact (Amanda.Battin@mt.gov, +1 406-841-4001). The solicitation is for a lump sum service with a quantity of 1, and bidders will be expected to demonstrate technical capability to perform the powerhead replacement and restoration of the boat to operational condition.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types were explicitly mentioned in the solicitation documents. The payment terms are structured as 0% 0, Net 30, indicating standard government payment protocols. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the solicitation suggests this is a targeted repair service for a specific state-owned marine asset. No specific budget range or award value was detailed in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be a straightforward, single-instance repair service for a state-owned vessel, with the primary objective of restoring the Mercury Optimax 110 HP Jet to full operational status. The limited nature of the solicitation and the specific technical requirements suggest that vendors will need specialized marine repair expertise, particularly with Mercury marine engines and jet propulsion systems.
