The solicitation references GSA contract GS-30F-0015U and is designated as DPS Request No. CTR057414. This is a fixed price term, indefinite quantity type contract that is non-exclusive and limited in eligibility to DPS only. The contract will commence upon award and remain in effect for one year unless terminated, canceled, or extended. By mutual written contract amendment, the contract may be extended for supplemental periods of up to a maximum of 48 months for a total contract term not to exceed five years.
The solicitation covers the provision of enclosed box trailers with upfitting services and parts meeting minimum specifications including a 10,000 LB GVWR, ramp door dimensions of 8.5 feet width by 20 feet length, tandem axle, two white LED scene lights on all sides, work bench toward the front, and a generator sufficient to power small tools and work area lighting.
