    Description

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with Rocky’s Marine of Juneau, Alaska, for the procurement and installation of two Yamaha helm control systems and two agency-owned Yamaha outboard motors on the R/V Sashin. This procurement is essential for the Alaska Fisheries Science Center's marine research operations, as the research vessel is critical for transporting personnel and equipment to remote research sites in southeast Alaska. The sole-source justification is based on the unique requirement for Yamaha components, which are necessary for compatibility with the existing systems on the vessel, and the impracticality of transporting the vessel to distant servicing dealers. Interested parties may submit a Capability Statement to Jason Jenks at jason.jenks@noaa.gov by 4:00 PM EST on November 21, 2024, to be considered for this procurement, which is not open for competitive quotes.

    The document outlines a Single Source Determination for the installation of helm control systems and outboard motors on the R/V Sashin, utilized by the Department of Commerce’s NMFS Alaska Fisheries Science Center for marine research in Juneau, Alaska. The sole supplier identified for this requirement is Rocky’s Marine, the only authorized Yamaha servicing dealer in the area. The rationale emphasizes that Yamaha components are essential due to compatibility with existing systems, as the vessel is equipped with Yamaha parts from its original construction. The logistics of transporting the vessel to other dealers are impractical, necessitating local servicing to fulfill the government’s needs efficiently and cost-effectively. Additionally, market research confirmed that alternative solutions would incur excessive costs. The document includes certifications from relevant representatives confirming the accuracy of the needs assessment and the necessity of a single source. This determination aims to streamline procurement processes while ensuring that the agency's operational requirements are met appropriately within the simplified acquisition framework.
