About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force is soliciting school bus transportation services for Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) designated as FA452825-Q-TA02. The contractor will provide comprehensive bus services for approximately 700 students in grades K-8, serving Memorial Middle School, North Plains Elementary School, and Dakota Elementary School on the base. Services must operate Monday through Friday between 0700 and 1630 Central Time from approximately November 1 to April 15 each year, with the contractor required to provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and supervision necessary to meet National Standards for Pupil Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations, and North Dakota state transportation codes. The evaluation will be based on three factors: Price, Technical capabilities, and Past Performance, with no specific ranking assigned to these criteria. The original proposal deadline was extended from June 18, 2025, to July 2, 2025, at 4:00 PM CDT, with quotes to be submitted electronically to the designated contracting personnel.
This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under the School and Employee Bus Transportation NAICS code 485410. The contract structure is a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement with a five-year performance period running from November 1, 2025, to October 31, 2030, though no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the solicitation documents. The service involves operating four distinct bus routes covering various residential areas on Minot AFB, with the government providing secure parking facilities for up to twelve buses along with electrical plug-ins and office space in the School Liaison Office. The contractor must maintain professional drivers, conduct regular bus inspections, manage route schedules, and adhere to base security protocols while serving the military families stationed at this North Dakota installation. A previous contract reference (FA452819CA028) suggests this is a recompete opportunity, though the current incumbent contractor is not specifically identified in the available documentation.
