About this file
This document is a Salient Characteristics attachment detailing the required specifications for a 77-passenger school bus for a Youth Center at Ellsworth Air Force Base. The document outlines 11 specific requirements for the bus, including hydraulic brakes (to avoid requiring commercial driver's license air brake endorsement), front/mid/rear heaters, fire retardant seating, 100-gallon fuel tank, LED lighting throughout, tinted windows, and 120K rooftop air conditioning.
The specification explicitly calls for a gasoline-powered bus rather than diesel, citing lower costs for purchase, operation and maintenance, elimination of winter fuel gelling issues, and no need for a DEF system. Additional required features include a high idle switch and an air ride driver's seat. This procurement is being conducted as a Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) purchase by the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, with quotes due by March 24, 2025 at 16:00 MDT and questions due by March 14, 2025 at 15:00 MDT.

Salient Characteristics
Required items for the Youth Center School Bus:
1. 77 passenger capacity
2. Hydraulic Brakes (Air Brakes require an endorsement on a commercial driver’s license)
3. Front, Mid Ship, and rear heaters
4. Fire retardant seat bottoms and covers.
5. 100 Gallon Fuel Tank
6. Interior and Exterior LED Lighting
7. Tinted Windows
8. 120K Rooftop A/C
9. High Idle Switch
10. Air Ride Drivers Seat
11. Gasoline powered bus because the Youth Center does need the extra power a diesel bus provides. Gas busses cost less, are cheaper to operate and maintain, don’t gel up in the winter, and eliminates the need for a DEF system.
