Statement of Need: Annual Vehicle Leases

This is a Statement of Need for the lease of eight vehicles for a one-year term to support personnel and cargo transport at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The requiring activity intends to use the leased vehicles to fill authorization gaps until permanent permit assets can be sourced and purchased. The need arises from operational requirements to support personnel and transport students; without adequate vehicle access, the activity would be forced to generate additional aircraft support, which diverts training resources and creates crew rest and aircraft availability constraints.

The procurement specifies eight vehicles comprising one 1-ton stake and plate forms truck, one 2.5-ton stake and plate forms truck, one 1/2-ton crew cab pickup truck, two cargo vans, and three 15-passenger vans. Delivery and inspection must be completed at Kirtland AFB, NM 87117 approximately 30 days after contract award, between 0700 and 1600 hours Monday through Friday. The contractor is responsible for routine maintenance services including oil changes, tire rotations, and non-routine repairs resulting from normal wear and tear; repair costs will be funded by Kirtland Support per AFI 24-302. Estimated monthly mileage is 200 to 500 miles. The contractor must complete vehicle pickup and drop-off during business hours, with further instructions to be provided by the Point of Contact. The Delivery POC will be responsible for inspecting and accepting all items and services.
