Licensed drivers certified to transport hazardous and flammable materials are required; all vehicles must be no older than seven years and in good mechanical condition. The contractor maintains all U.S. and Mexican operating authorizations throughout performance.

Vessel-offload equipment must include minimum 2.5-inch diameter, 150-foot hoses with D1-R nozzle connections (or 2.5-inch camlock alternatives). Tank trucks must have clean, dry internal surfaces and be sealed with Alulock 2.0mm serial-numbered seals.

Award goes to the responsible offeror with the most advantageous offer based on technical capability (licensing, cross-border authority, equipment compliance) and price using simplified FAR Part 12 procedures. The requirement does not qualify for small business set-aside status as performance occurs outside the United States.
