Indefinite Delivery Contract HE128016D0008

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), a defense agency, awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Audax-Reisen-Gesellschaft MIT Beschrankter Haftung, a German transportation company doing business as Audax-Reisen, for student daily commuting transportation services in support of DoDEA schools located at U.S. military installations in Germany. The original IDC award, valued at up to $16,871,583.59, does not utilize any set-aside designations. Under this IDC, DoDEA has issued multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Audax-Reisen ranging from approximately $729,000 to $1.6 million to provide scheduled school bus routes and special needs transportation services for military-connected students in various German communities, including Wiesbaden, Kaiserslautern, and Garmisch. Many of these recent delivery orders were issued with Coronavirus COVID-19 National Interest Action Codes, highlighting the critical nature of Audax-Reisen's transportation services during the pandemic. Audax-Reisen has consistently been the prime contractor for these DoDEA student transportation requirements, without the use of major subcontractors.

The IDC and associated delivery orders aim to support DoDEA's overseas educational mission by ensuring reliable transportation for eligible military dependents attending DoDEA schools at U.S. military installations in Germany. Audax-Reisen, as the incumbent provider, has demonstrated its expertise and reliability in delivering these essential services to DoDEA communities. The contract awards demonstrate DoDEA's continuous reliance on Audax-Reisen to meet the agency's student transportation needs, including adapting to unique pandemic-related requirements, across multiple military locations in Germany.
