JBMDL Coach Bus Trasnportation

The U.S. Air Force is seeking qualified small businesses to provide coach bus transportation services at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, under a total small business set-aside identified by NAICS code 485510. The contractor must operate four passenger coach buses daily for 12 hours a day, seven days a week, supporting on-base transportation between the Passenger Terminal and Deployment Transition Center, two round trips per day to Philadelphia International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport, and daily morale outings to Center City Philadelphia and American Dream Mall. The contractor is required to maintain surge capability by providing up to four additional buses within 24 hours upon government request. All vehicles must be NJDOT- and FMCSA-compliant, ADA-accessible, climate-controlled, and professionally maintained, with drivers holding valid Commercial Driver’s Licenses, passing background checks, and meeting JBMDL security access requirements. The period of performance is one year from contract award, with all services to be performed from JBMDL and no government-furnished property provided. The solicitation is a sources-sought notice with no pricing details, contract line items, or estimated value disclosed, and responses must be submitted exclusively via email to SSgt John Cejka and Lizbette Zalybniuk by May 22, 2026. Evaluation criteria are based on compliance with mandatory operational, safety, and regulatory standards outlined in the Performance Work Statement and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, which includes random inspections, schedule adherence monitoring, customer feedback, and safety checks. While no formal evaluation weights or adjectival ratings are specified, the emphasis on strict compliance with federal, state, and installation regulations suggests a Low Price Technically Acceptable approach. The government will conduct all inspections and acceptances, and contractors must adhere to JBMDL security protocols throughout performance. No standard FAR clauses, packaging requirements, marking standards, or invoicing procedures are included in the solicitation, and the award method remains unconfirmed pending further review of submissions.
