About this file

This document provides an overview of a federal solicitation for light vehicles. The General Services Administration will issue a Request for Proposals seeking sedans, light trucks, and SUVs to be produced for fiscal year 2020 in accordance with Federal Vehicle Standards. Interested offerors must request an AutoBid account and indicate desired vehicle models by June 24, 2019 to participate. The solicitation is anticipated the week of June 24, 2019 as a firm fixed price, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for a one year base period and four one-month option periods. The evaluation factors will include technical capability, management capability, and price. Successful offerors must meet minimum standards and be able to provide at least 50,000 vehicles annually to federal agencies and the Department of Defense.

The document also outlines requirements for the proposal submission process, including submitting vehicle specifications through the AutoBid system and separate volumes for administrative, technical, and pricing information. The evaluation process and potential award are described at a high level, noting the contracting officer may request clarifications or discussions and consider tradeoffs in a best value determination for delivery orders. Overall, the overview provides prospective offerors with details to request AutoBid access and prepare for the upcoming solicitation for light duty vehicles for governmentwide use.
