Statement of Work

For

Automotive Tires 1.

BACKGROUND:

Tucson Sector Fleet Operations Branch (TSFOB) has identified a need for automotive tires purchased in bulk from approved vendors for all stations and units located in Tucson Sector. The current procedure in place calls for the stations to either purchase a few tires or submit bulk orders purchased with the bulk parts fleet card assigned to Tucson Sector. The limit on the bulk parts fleet card and often the supply and demand at the stations is more than what can be submitted on the individual bulk orders. TSFOB looks to streamline the process of procuring the automotive tires. This would allow for fewer transactions, less variance in sizes and types of tires, and increase the buying power of Tucson Sector resulting in a substantial cost savings for fleet repairs.

2.

SCOPE:

It is the intent of TSFOB to procure the tires detailed in Section 5.1 in order to accommodate Tucson Sector fleet repairs. The tires will be drop shipped direct to the stations (addresses listed in Section 5.2) and the waste tires picked up from the stations. Additionally, all tires listed in Section 5.1 must have side walls reinforced with three-ply polyester to help protect the tire from puncture and bruises causing the tire to blow-out. All tires must be new. Quantities and locations will vary monthly and can range between (50) fifty and (1000) one thousand tires in total per month. Tires must meet or exceed the specifications of the tires listed in Section 5.1.
