About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC) has issued a Special Notice regarding bus and van services procurement for Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA). The notice, published by the 502d Contracting Squadron, outlines an upcoming transportation services contract anticipated for solicitation in January 2026. The procurement will cover transportation needs across multiple Texas locations including JBSA Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, Medina Annex, and Camp Bullis. Specifically, the contract will require transportation services using 44-passenger school-type buses and 15-passenger vans with advanced technological features. The contract is set aside for total small business participation and falls under the Bus and Other Motor Vehicle Transit Systems NAICS category.
Contractors must obtain DoD Bus Carrier Approval from the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) prior to submitting a proposal, which is a critical prerequisite for participation. Potential prime contractors, joint ventures, and subcontractors are required to have operators holding a minimum Class B commercial driver's license with passenger endorsement. The transportation services must include 24/7 operational capabilities and service within 150 one-way miles of the dispatch location. Vehicles must be equipped with GPS tracking, digital marquees, and compatible mobile applications for real-time monitoring. Interested vendors must carefully review Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requirements before the anticipated January 2026 solicitation release. The service volume may fluctuate up to 20% from the government's estimated contract cost, providing some flexibility for contractors. The special notice serves as a preliminary information source for potential small business contractors interested in providing comprehensive transportation services for military training and support operations.
