Solicitation QMAA-JC-160001-D Answers to Questions Received Through 8/24/2016

Q1: Is TITLE transferred to DOD via gsa administration or Title transferred to GSA?

A1: The vehicle title is transferred to GSA.

Q2: Is Vehicle registered with DOD? Or GSA? I assume vehile [sic] uses Germany/Italy base plates, or a type of diplomatic license plate?

A2: GSA Europe doesn’t require OEMs to register vehicles on their behalf. After receiving each certificate of origin with the “Tageszulassung” (one-day ownership stamp), the vehicles are then “registered” and plated through DoD’s system, the same that a POV would be by an American soldier living in Germany or Italy.

Vehicles purchased will use German or Italian plates.

A3: There is not a pre-defined replacement cycle for vehicles purchased. When disposed of, vehicles will be disposed via online auction.
