Description
NASA/KSC has a requirement for one (1) Airboat. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from Diamondback Airboats, Inc., Cocoa, FL 32926.
Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b) and 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), the acquisition of referenced supplies are determined to be available from only one source. It is the Government’s intention to purchase one airboat from Diamondback Airboats, Inc. to ensure capability and readiness of the current airboat fleet to support short notice launch and landing requirements for the space shuttle.
The airboat needs to be a Diamondback, because we currently have another Diamondback in the fleet of police pursuit boats and the cage, seat frame, and motors need to be interchanged and removed for maintenance to ensure readiness.
Diamondback Airboats, Inc. is the only company that can insure that the rigging and stringers are compatible with the other airboat necessary for quick change out of components from one airboat to another. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
