This government solicitation, N0018926QL151, is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of four Yanmar BOMG 4JH57 KM4A-1 boat engines and four 099-2ND ALT 12V-125A KIT-S alternators. The acquisition is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) and will result in a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order. Quotes are due by May 27, 2026, 02:00 PM EST, and must include an authorized reseller letter from Yanmar. Deliveries are required by July 31, 2026, to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. The evaluation will consider Technical (Acceptable/Unacceptable) and Price, with an emphasis on price given equal technical standing. The document details extensive FAR and DFARS clauses, including requirements for item unique identification and electronic invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF).

The United States Naval Academy is seeking to procure four Yanmar Diesel Engines with transmissions and four Yanmar alternator kits to replace existing broken engines in four NA 44 Craft Sailboats. This acquisition is justified as a brand-name-only purchase due to the critical need for compatibility (form, fit, and function) with the current systems installed in the fleet of 16 Navy 44 MK II vessels. Using non-Yanmar parts would severely impact waterfront readiness, necessitate a redesign of maintenance and safety procedures established since 2007, and violate the Navy 44 Mark II Sail Training Craft Boat Information Book (BIB) Rev 6, which mandates Yanmar components for replacements. These direct replacement parts are exclusively available from Yanmar America Corporation or its authorized resellers and distributors, ensuring consistency across the fleet for maintenance, compatibility, and training purposes. The estimated delivery date for these supplies is on or before a specified date.
