Bremerton, Wash. — [April 1, 2026] — SAFE Boats International (SBI) has been awarded a cooperative purchasing contract through Sourcewell following a competitive solicitation process, making it easier for public agencies to procure SAFE Boats through a streamlined purchasing pathway.
Sourcewell serves government, education, and nonprofit entities across North America through competitively solicited and publicly awarded contracts. Contracts awarded through Sourcewell are vetted through a formal request for proposal (RFP) process, allowing participating agencies to purchase directly without issuing their own RFP—saving valuable time and administrative resources while supporting compliant purchasing.
Through this newly awarded contract, eligible Sourcewell members can now purchase SAFE Boats using pre-negotiated terms and not-to-exceed pricing, significantly reducing procurement timelines.
“Being awarded a Sourcewell contract is an important milestone for SAFE Boats,” said Rob Goley, Chief Revenue and Customer Officer (CRCO) at SAFE Boats International. “Our customers operate in time-critical environments, and this contract removes barriers to acquisition—allowing agencies to focus on readiness, safety, and operational performance rather than administrative process.”
SAFE Boats’ inclusion in Sourcewell’s cooperative purchasing portfolio reinforces the company’s long-standing commitment to supporting public-sector operators with fully welded aluminum patrol boats, interceptor craft, fire rescue vessels, and other public safety watercraft built for demanding marine environments.
