K--NM - Refuge Law Enforcement - Vehicle Upfitting

The contract involves the upfitting of Ford F250 vehicles for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service law enforcement operations under the solicitation number 140FS226Q0095, issued by the Department of the Interior’s Sat Team 2 FWS based in Falls Church, Virginia. The work is scoped to modify vehicles with law enforcement-specific equipment, ensuring compliance with OEM standards for durability, suspension geometry, track bar relocation, and shock extensions, while also meeting environmental and sustainability guidelines from EPA, FEMP, and USDA BioPreferred programs. All vehicles must be delivered by October 31, 2026, with each upfit completed within 150 calendar days of arrival at the vendor’s facility, and the contractor is responsible for transporting vehicles to upfitting locations outside Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, or Oklahoma at their own expense. The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price award under commercial item authorities, with evaluation based on technical approach, impact of the upfitting location on government monitoring, lead time, past performance, and price, using a best-value trade-off approach rather than lowest price technically acceptable. The solicitation requires full compliance with numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including Equal Opportunity, Service Contract Labor Standards, Combating Trafficking in Persons, Paid Sick Leave, Buy American, Accelerated Payments to Small Business Subcontractors, and Security Prohibitions, among others. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform, not WAWF, and payment will be processed by the FWS SAT 2 office in Falls Church, VA. Packaging and marking requirements mandate that each warranted item be labeled “Warranted” and include full warranty details on the packing slip if space is limited, while vehicles must bear standardized law enforcement markings. All offerors must register in SAM.gov and provide a Unique Entity Identifier, with the procurement set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 336320. Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF by April 28, 2026, to dana_arnold@fws.gov, containing the signed SF 1449, company information, technical quotation, facility address, estimated completion timeline, and price quotation on official letterhead.
