CES - DFT Vehicle Rentals

The U.S. Air Force, through the 176th Civil Engineer Squadron at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, is soliciting commercial vehicle rental services under solicitation number W50S6L-26-Q-0003, issued on May 14, 2026, with responses due by May 21, 2026. This acquisition is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 532120, restricted to small businesses with a size standard of $47 million in annual receipts. The requirement is for the rental of three to six operational vehicles—such as pickup trucks or passenger vans—for a 92-day period from May 30 to August 29, 2026, to support Deploy for Training (DFT) operations at Seward Military Resort. The contractor must ensure all vehicles are fully operational, safe, and compliant with Alaska DOT and federal safety standards, with 100% availability on the start date and no more than one vehicle failing at pickup. Vehicles must be picked up and returned at the contractor’s facility, with joint inspections conducted to assess condition, mileage, fluid levels, and existing damage; no commercial insurance costs such as CDW or LDW may be included in pricing, as liability is governed by the Federal Tort Claims Act. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price agreement using a best-value trade-off approach, evaluating technical acceptability first, then price and past performance, with no numerical weights assigned. No COR or COTR will be appointed; the Contracting Officer retains full administrative and quality assurance authority. The solicitation incorporates standard FAR commercial item clauses including 52.212-1, 52.212-2, and 52.212-4, and explicitly states no additional contract requirements apply. Pricing details are not provided in the solicitation, and contract value will be determined post-offer. Offers must be submitted by the deadline via mail or hand-delivery to the specified JBER address, with email preferred for inquiries.
