The document serves as a Brand Name Justification for the acquisition of Yamaha Outboard Motors by the Naval Sea Systems Command, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). The action proposes a firm fixed price order for Yamaha Twin Outboard Engines (F250USB and LF250USB) and associated equipment required for operation from a 28-foot SEAARK boat. The estimated value exceeds $25,000, utilizing simplified acquisition procedures under the threshold of $250,000.
The justification emphasizes that only Yamaha motors meet the specific needs due to compatibility with existing vessel mounts, avoiding additional costs associated with replacements.
