Purchase Order N0018922PG105

The U.S. Fleet Forces Command awarded a $4,600 firm fixed-price purchase order to the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) on October 1, 2022, for an EZPass account base year service with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2028. The contract requires no set-aside designation and represents a standard procurement mechanism for electronic toll collection services. RITBA, a Rhode Island state government entity operating under the parent organization State of Rhode Island, provides electronic toll payment infrastructure that enables Navy personnel and other federal employees to pay tolls electronically during official travel throughout Rhode Island's transportation network.

This purchase order aligns with RITBA's established role as a critical service provider supporting military transportation needs across multiple U.S. Navy entities, including Naval Education and Training Command, Chief of Naval Personnel, and Naval Sea Systems Command. The contract is typical of RITBA's federal engagement, which consists primarily of purchase orders for EZPass electronic toll collection services ranging from $1,200 to $38,000, enabling seamless toll payment processing for federal personnel. The performance location in Groton, Connecticut reflects the proximity to Naval Submarine Base New London and other regional Navy installations that benefit from electronic toll payment access across Rhode Island's bridge and turnpike infrastructure.
