About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Education is seeking quotes for motorcoach/provost transportation and bus wrap services to support a multi-city, multi-state bus tour by the Secretary of Education in 2024. The solicitation requires a well-maintained executive motor coach with specific features and amenities, as well as bus wrapping services using Department-provided artwork. The contractor must also provide two dedicated drivers with clean driving records and handle lodging, meals, and stocking the bus. Quotes are due by 12:00 PM EST on July 23, 2024 and will be evaluated based on the ability to meet the tour schedule, quality of vehicles and amenities, past experience, and price, with technical merit being significantly more important than price.
This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 485510, Charter Bus Industry, with a $19M size standard. The contract will be awarded to the responsible contractor whose quote is most advantageous to the Government. The Department may exercise an option for a second 12-passenger vehicle, and the final tour schedule will be provided by August 23, 2024, with the wrapped bus required to be ready for inspection by August 31, 2024.
