RFI -Bearcat Maintenance Services

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI05122026) to identify qualified vendors capable of providing comprehensive maintenance and repair services for its fleet of Lenco BearCat armored vehicles, which are based on the Ford F-550 Super Duty chassis and require specialized support for both mechanical and ballistic components. The scope of work includes routine preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, and technical services across all 56 FBI Field Offices nationwide, with particular emphasis on remote locations such as San Juan, Anchorage, and Honolulu. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to perform chassis maintenance exclusively through Ford Commercial Service Centers and coordinate armor-specific repairs—such as ballistic glass replacement and welded structure restoration—with Lenco Armored Vehicles or their authorized network. Responses must be submitted electronically as a single PDF document not exceeding ten pages to Candice Kesselman, the Contracting Officer, by June 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and must include the vendor’s Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, size status, and socioeconomic certifications, along with a Rough Order of Magnitude pricing estimate for planning purposes. The FBI is seeking vendors with proven experience in commercial vehicle servicing and tactical armor repair capabilities, prioritizing a nationwide service model, though regional coverage aligned with Field Office Areas of Responsibility may be considered. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or pricing details are included, as this is strictly a pre-solicitation market research tool aimed at gathering industry capability and cost data to inform a future procurement, with no commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract.
