Purchase Order W911S025PA028

The U.S. Army awarded a $1.57M firm fixed-price purchase order to Atom Rail LLC, a South Carolina-based small disadvantaged veteran-owned business, for railcar maintenance services supporting the Transportation School Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCOE) Maritime and Intermodal Training Department at Fort Eustis, Virginia. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, runs through September 29, 2030 and encompasses comprehensive maintenance of fifteen flatbed and box railcars operated by the Army's transportation training organization. The scope of work includes annual servicing of three specific railcars (USAX 47039, USAX 47044, and USAX 38304) involving sandblasting, painting, sealing, wood decking replacement, and bolt maintenance, with each maintenance cycle required to be completed within 120 days.

Atom Rail LLC's selection reflects its demonstrated capabilities in rail operations and railcar maintenance across federal agencies. The contractor was evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, considering technical capability, past performance, and pricing factors. The contract structure includes a base year plus four option years with firm fixed-price labor and cost-no-fee provisions for other direct costs such as travel, parts, supplies, and materials, with $30,000 annually allocated for ancillary expenses. The award supports the Army Training and Doctrine Command's transportation infrastructure and operator training mission by ensuring functional railcar assets for the SCOE's instructional programs.
