28--LARO PATROL BOAT RE-POWER

This government solicitation, 140P8326Q0044, issued by the National Park Service, aims to replace a Mercury Verado 300 HP outboard motor with two new Mercury Verado 150 HP inline 4 outboard motors for a patrol boat at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ) and is a total small business set-aside with NAICS code 336612 (Ship Building and Repairing) and a size standard of 1,000 employees. Quotes are due by July 10, 2026, at noon PT and must include price, relevant experience, past performance references (three for the prime and each subcontractor), and specific FAR provisions. The contract requires the use of Mercury Verado engines due to compatibility issues and increased costs associated with alternative brands. Evaluation factors are price, technical capability, and past performance, with technical capability and past performance combined being approximately equal to price. Contractors must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit invoices electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).

The document references "GARMIN" and "LUIS PARK RANGER." This suggests a potential connection to a project or initiative involving GPS technology (Garmin) and park ranger operations, possibly for tracking, navigation, or communication within a park system. Given the context of government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs, this could relate to a procurement for Garmin devices, a grant application for technology upgrades for park rangers, or a request for proposals for a system that integrates GPS technology into park management and ranger activities. The specific role of "Luis Park Ranger" might indicate a point of contact, a specific user, or a persona for whom this technology is being considered.
