# Questions Answers

Section 7 identifies transportation market research, including the identification of motor coaches and 15-passenger vans for Government-approved rental or lease arrangements, as well as coordination with Government-designated transportation providers.

Would the Government clarify whether the anticipated coordination contractor would be responsible for identifying, evaluating, and recommending transportation providers for separate Government contracting, or whether the contractor would be expected to subcontract directly for the vehicles and transportation services?

The U.S. Secret Service anticipates that the awarded prime contractor will be responsible for identifying, evaluating, selecting, and directly subcontracting with qualified transportation providers to secure the vehicles drivers, and associated transportation services necessary to meet the USSS’s operational requirement. The prime contractor will be responsible for managing and overseeing all transportation subcontractors, including coordinating fleet availability, ensuring compliance with applicable federal, state and local regulations, verifying provider qualifications, and maintaining sufficient transportation capacity to support mission requirements.

USSS does not anticipate awarding separate contracts directly to individual transportation providers. The prime contractor will serve as the single point of accountability, for the coordination, management, and execution of transportation services including subcontractor performance, operational readiness, scheduling, and service delivery.

We are also evaluating a nationwide provider-sourcing strategy in recognition of the significant transportation demand expected throughout the Los Angeles region during the Games. Would USSS welcome information regarding potential out-of-state motor-coach capacity, mobilization considerations, and supplier qualification as part of industry responses?

Yes, the U.S. Secret Service would welcome feedback from interested contractors regarding transportation provider sourcing strategies including the mobilization of out-of-state motor coach capacity to support anticipated transportation demands associated with LA28. You are encouraged to provide information regarding your ability to identify sources, coordinate and manage qualified transportation providers from both within and outside California.

Responses should address anticipated mobilization requirements, fleet availability, supplier qualifications and vetting procedures, regulatory compliance, operational readiness, and potential logistical challenges associated with deploying out-of-state resources into the Los Angeles region. Currently the USSS has not established a preference for local or out of state transportation providers at this stage of market research.

I am inquiring about the RFI for Event Transportation Logistics Coordination Services; 70US0927R70090002.

Can you confirm if this is a new requirement or a re-compete? May I have the incumbent information, if applicable?

This is a new requirement, and not a common practice since this NSSE is of a larger scale, duration, and geographical scope than the standard.
