Vehicle Upfitting for the United States Secret Service

The United States Secret Service, under the Department of Homeland Security, has awarded a non-competitive, firm-fixed-price contract to ESI Equipment, Inc. for specialized vehicle upfitting services. The scope of work involves the modification of three government-furnished vehicles: two 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WTs designated for CBRNE response and one 2024 Ford F-250 for technical rescue operations. The project requires the design and fabrication of custom internal compartments, installation of electrical and communication systems, and the integration of proprietary SpaceKap RRU Model 644 and 853 fiberglass bed caps. These specific bed caps were mandated due to their unique modular re-chassis capability, durability, and corrosion resistance, which are essential for 24/7 operational readiness in hazardous environments. The contract was awarded as a sole source procurement under FAR Subpart 13.5, as ESI Equipment, Inc. is the only authorized distributor of SpaceKap products in the National Capital Region capable of providing the required integrated upfitting services. All work, including fabrication, testing, and final inspection, is performed at the contractor's facility in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. The period of performance is one year from the date of award. While the actual contract value is undisclosed, the procurement was conducted under regulatory authorities with a statutory ceiling of 7.5 million dollars.
