About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for the Pabrade Shuttle Bus solicitation (W912PB26QA111) issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command for shuttle bus services at Forward Operating Site (FOS) Pabrade, Lithuania.
The Government clarified that this is a new contract (no incumbent) providing weekend and holiday shuttle service only, with no weekday service except when a weekday is designated as a holiday. The contractor must operate a single 50-passenger bus on a fixed route between two stops: PMT1 Barracks (Pabrade) and NORFA XL, maintaining the same schedule regardless of day of the week. Service operates within a 0900-2130 window on all scheduled service dates listed in Attachment 2. The Government will provide minimum 15 days' advance notice for any schedule changes or additions during option periods, though the base period may require rearrangement of one or two days due to training conflicts. The Government confirmed no additional buses or expanded services are anticipated under this contract, regardless of passenger volume fluctuations or peak demand periods. Bus drivers must hold NATO country nationality, cannot be Latvian passport holders or dual citizens of Russia, Iran, Belarus, or China, and must not have traveled to those countries within the past two years. Base access requires advance coordination through the mayor's office typically 21 days in advance, and host nation may request additional background documentation. Buses equipped with cameras are not acceptable for this requirement.
