The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) awarded Taylor Motors Inc., a woman-owned small business, a $39.2 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to provide daily commute and special needs student transportation services in support of the Fort Campbell and Fort Knox military communities. The IDC has a total small business set-aside and spans the period of August 1, 2021 through January 31, 2027. Under this contract, Taylor Motors has been issued several firm fixed price delivery orders ranging from $1.8 million to $4.2 million to transport students to and from DoDEA schools located on or near the military installations. These task orders have periods of performance from August 2021 through October 2024. The original solicitation sought proposals for a contractor to safely and efficiently transport approximately 2,000 students daily from the two bases, complying with all relevant regulations. Taylor Motors, as the incumbent provider, has demonstrated the capability to meet these student transportation requirements for the military-connected school communities.
The DoDEA is a federally operated school system that manages pre-kindergarten through 12th grade education programs for the Department of Defense, serving over 78,000 children of active duty military and DOD civilian families worldwide. This IDC supports the DoDEA's mission to provide a world-class education that prepares military-connected students for post-secondary success and community leadership. As the prime contractor, Taylor Motors will coordinate all transportation logistics, equipment, and personnel needed to deliver safe and reliable daily bus services, as well as specialized transportation for students with disabilities, at the Fort Campbell and Fort Knox installations.
