This requirement is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. The motors are manufactured by Raider Outboards. The work must be performed by a Raider certified Technician or Mechanic.

This make the OEM the only source that can meet this requirement.

The proposed contract action is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
