About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) and Responses that provides clarifications to an underlying vehicle procurement solicitation.
The procurement requires delivery of two vehicles to 82 Northbourne Ave, Braddon, ACT 2612, Australia within 7 calendar days from contract award: one 8-15 passenger van and one cargo van. Vehicles must be current or prior year models with less than 40,000 kilometers to be technically acceptable, though the previous requirement for vehicles less than six months old has been waived to adjust for market conditions. Vehicles may deviate up to approximately 1% from specified dimensions to accommodate latest model offerings, provided they remain similar to the dimensions and meet the "Model" specification requirements. All passenger van seats must have a seat belt, though 3-point belts are not strictly required. The solicitation permits US Headquartered businesses with international operations to bid with support from local fleet operator partners, provided all Statement of Work requirements are met. The responses indicate that both the Statement of Work (Attachment 01) and the RFQ have been revised to reflect these clarifications regarding vehicle age/mileage requirements, quantity specifications (correcting an inconsistency that listed two cargo vans instead of one passenger van and one cargo van), and delivery timelines.

RFI and Reponses
• Could you please confirm whether the requirement for vehicles to be less than six
(6) months old is mandatory for technical acceptability, or if newer model vehicles in-excellent condition (but exceeding six months in age) may be considered acceptable?
To adjust for the market, current or prior year models with less than 40,000 km are acceptable. Attachment 01 – SOW has been revised to reflect this change.
• There appears to be a requirement inconsistency. The SOW says you need 1 8–15 passenger van and 1 cargo van. But the CLIN schedule in the RFQ appears to list two cargo vans instead of one passenger van and one cargo van. Can you please confirm the requirement.
Only 1 x 8-15 PAX Van and 1 Cargo van are required. SOW and RFQ has been revised to reflect.
• What date are the vehicles required for delivery to 82 Northbourne Ave, Braddon, ACT 2612, Australia.
Vehicles must be delivered to specified location within 7 calendar days from contract award date. The SOW has been revised to reflect this requirement.
• Can a US Headquartered business with a UAE Global Operations Office and Philippines Logistics Hub managing live Pacific DoD vehicle lease contracts bid with the support of a local fleet operator partner?
Yes, if the requirements specified in the Statement of Work are met. It is up to your discretion on how you meet those requirements.
• Can you clarify if all seats on the passenger van require 3-point seat belts?
All seats must have a seat belt. However, there is no strict requirement on it being specifically a 3-point.
RFI and Reponses
• In order to allow bidders to offer the Government Best Value would it be possible for the dimensions to be approx. 1% different from those specified to account for the latest vehicle models?
Yes, this is authorized and the US Government will allow. Most importantly vehicles must be similar to the dimensions while meeting the requirements of “a. Model” specification.
