DDNB Truck Lease

The Defense Logistics Agency Distribution is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the lease of vehicles in Bahrain under solicitation CSS SP330026Q0029. The procurement seeks three diesel-powered single cab trucks with 6.5 ton Gross Vehicle Weight configured as wide-body cargo vehicles with three-sided drop gates for freight transportation operations. Key contract requirements include that vehicles must be new, of the newest model year, Kingdom of Bahrain registered, fully insured, diesel-powered, and configured for right-side driving. The contractor must provide comprehensive maintenance and repairs throughout the lease period, including all servicing upon delivery, and must furnish substitute vehicles within five working days if a truck becomes inoperable. The government will evaluate quotations based on past performance (acceptable/unacceptable determination), technical capability, and price, with award intended for the lowest-priced technically acceptable quoter. Quotations must be submitted electronically by January 9, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST.

This is a full and open competition with no set-aside designation, and the RFQ makes no reference to current incumbents or existing contractors. The contract will be awarded as a single Firm Fixed Price purchase order on Standard Form 1449, with a base lease period from February 12, 2026, to February 11, 2027, and an optional second-year extension from February 12, 2027, to February 11, 2028. The solicitation does not specify an award value or budget range; however, the NAICS code 532120 carries a size standard of $47 million. The three Isuzu NPR vehicles are expected to operate at approximately 30,000 kilometers annually across multiple locations within Bahrain, including Juffair, Muharraq, Shaikh Isa Air Base, Khalifa Bin Salman Port, and Mina Sulman Port. The place of performance is Bahrain, and the U.S. Government will provide diesel fuel for all leased vehicles during the contract period.
