V--Provide Transportation Services for Public Event -

The contract solicitation 140P5126Q0025, issued by the National Park Service under the Department of the Interior, seeks transportation services at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, for a strict two-week period from June 1, 2026, to July 1, 2026. Originally set aside for small businesses under the NAICS code 485510, the requirement has been amended to unrestricted, opening eligibility to all responsible offerors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The scope includes providing motor coaches, ADA-compliant vehicles, drivers, dispatch services, supervision, boarding tokens, and comprehensive operational support, with performance tied to exacting standards such as 10-minute headways, 100% fleet availability, spare vehicle deployment within 30 minutes, and strict adherence to ADA wait time limits. All deliverables are governed by a detailed Performance Work Statement and require daily operational reporting, pre-service inspections, and post-event summaries, with acceptance controlled by the Government’s Contracting Officer’s Representative. The solicitation mandates submission in three distinct volumes—Technical Capability and Approach, Past Performance, and Price—with proposals evaluated under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning the award will go to the lowest-priced offeror whose technical and past performance proposals are deemed acceptable. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, possess a valid UEI, and comply with FAR clauses covering ethics, conflicts of interest, whistleblower rights, and prohibited subcontracting practices. The prime contractor must be the direct operator of record, with at least 50% of personnel costs spent on its own employees, and full disclosure required of any subcontracting arrangements. Invoicing is exclusively through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and all vehicle documentation, driver rosters, and operational logs must be submitted as specified. The Contracting Officer, Edward Dingle, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is the sole point of contact for administrative and technical inquiries, and the place of performance is fixed at Fort Moultrie, South Carolina, with no flexibility in location or delivery terms.
