The Contract Delivery Service (CDS) for HCR 96771 in Kaunakakai, Hawaii, requires a qualified offeror to provide secure, reliable transportation of U.S. Mail on a fixed route between Kaunakakai and H001, with daily service except Sundays and holidays, involving approximately 303 trips annually. The contract begins on May 24, 2026, and extends through June 30, 2031, with an option for the Postal Service to extend performance by up to two 90-day increments totaling six months, without changing the original rate structure. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to amy.warnecke@usps.gov by 10:00 AM Mountain Time on May 4, 2026, using required USPS forms including PS Form 7405 and the associated Cost Worksheet, with no alternative formats allowed. Offerors must submit a two-volume proposal: Volume 1 detailing technical qualifications including supplier eligibility, past performance, operational capability, and a comprehensive operations plan covering normal and contingency scenarios, and Volume 2 containing a completed cost worksheet with all expenses itemized at up to four decimal places. Eligibility is a mandatory pass/fail criterion, excluding USPS employees and household members unless cleared, and disqualifying suspended or debarred entities. Suppliers must demonstrate financial stability, own or have access to vehicles no older than five years at award and nine years during the term, equipped with USPS signage, roof-mounted warning lights, secure waterproof compartments, and cellular communication devices. Key personnel restrictions prohibit hiring former Postal Service officers or PCES executives for one year after retirement without approval. All offerors must obtain non-sensitive security clearances prior to performance, including background checks, fingerprinting, driving records, and photos, with rescreening required every four years for drivers. The contract mandates adherence to Department of Labor wage determinations, continuous liability insurance, strict privacy and data security protocols including 24-hour breach reporting, and full compliance with organizational conflict of interest provisions that impose post-contract restrictions for two years. Subcontracting is permitted under a detailed plan if the contract value exceeds one million dollars, with goals for small, minority, and woman-owned businesses. Evaluation is based on best value, prioritizing technical merit over price, with equal weight given to past performance, supplier capability, and operations plan, while price serves as the tiebreaker among closely ranked offers.
