Executive Ride Program (FTC)

The Federal Trade Commission is soliciting offers for a firm-fixed-price contract to provide continuous weekday executive transportation services within the Washington, DC metropolitan area under the Executive Ride Program. Services are required Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, excluding federal holidays, with all operations centered on FTC Headquarters at 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580, though travel may originate or terminate elsewhere in the metro area. The contractor must supply a six-passenger SUV, no more than five years old, with a dedicated driver, and ensure vehicles and drivers are housed in the FTC secured garage during non-operational hours. The contract has a one-year performance period beginning on or before May 29, 2026, with potential for a six-month extension and optional surge service line items, although no pricing details are provided. Offerors must comply with stringent security and data handling protocols, including conducting pre-screening of all personnel via E-Verify and OPM CVS, requiring completion of annual FTC security training, and signing non-disclosure agreements for handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Any organizational or individual conflicts of interest must be disclosed and mitigated with a written plan approved by the Contracting Officer. All contractors and first-tier subcontractors are bound by these terms and must flow them down appropriately. Proposals must be submitted in two volumes: a pricing volume using the specified table format and a technical volume limited to ten pages, with certain items like resumes and transition plans excluded from the count. Submissions are to be emailed to two designated FTC points of contact by 4:30 PM EST on April 28, 2026, using a designated subject line, and must include a transmittal letter with UEI, CAGE code, taxpayer identification number, and business size certification. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where proposals must meet minimum technical thresholds before cost is assessed. Payment will be processed exclusively through the U.S. Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), requiring detailed cost breakdowns and proper CLIN references; WAWF is not used. Contractors must adhere to strict data breach protocols, immediate reporting requirements for subpoenas or third-party data requests, and prohibit external markings on packages transporting sensitive PII, while requiring encrypted electronic storage and secure shipping via certified mail or signature-required FedEx.
