The solicitation, numbered 810-1086-26, requires offerors to submit a complete Proposal Submission Package via email to amy.warnecke@usps.gov or by fax to 651-456-6819, with all submissions due by 10:00 AM Mountain Time on July 9, 2026.

The service requires compliance with specific vehicle standards (VH120), frequency zone code 0730, and strict safety protocols for load distribution, equipment securing, and driver conduct during hazardous conditions. Pricing is established using the fixed-price structure with economic price adjustment, based on the Rate of Compensation stated in Box 2 of PS Form 7405, supplemented by the cost worksheet PS Form 7468A, with all proposed costs required to be fully enumerated and expressed to no more than four decimal places; contract price remains fixed regardless of actual mileage variations. Offerors must meet stringent eligibility criteria, including the completion of all representations and certifications such as debarment status, affirmation of non-segregated facilities, proof of citizenship or legal work authorization, tax identification via Form W-9, and compliance with affirmative action obligations under 41 CFR 60-1 and 60-2. The evaluation is non-numerical and prioritizes technical factors over price, with proposals assessed through pass/fail gates for supplier eligibility and then evaluated across four weighted factors: past performance, supplier capability, operations plan, and price. Technical excellence is critical, and award will be made based on best value, not necessarily lowest price or highest technical score. The contract enforces compliance with federal labor standards including the Service Contract Act and Fair Labor Standards Act, mandates equal opportunity employment practices for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities, and requires annual reporting on subcontracting to small, minority, and woman-owned businesses.
