Offerors must submit a signed SF-1449 form, a detailed price proposal with unit prices for all line items, a technical proposal addressing past performance and capability, and completed Exhibits A and B with financial and performance information. The evaluation will employ a best-value trade-off approach considering brand name or equivalent specification compliance, contractor business location within 100 miles of the delivery address in Winchester, Kentucky, and past performance ratings, with the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer from a contractor with acceptable or neutral past performance receiving the award. Questions from interested parties must be submitted by March 18, 2026, at 1500 ET, with offers due on March 20, 2026, at 1500 ET, and pricing must remain firm for 60 calendar days from the due date.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 335132, with no incumbent contractor identified. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order to a single contractor without discussion, and the Period of Performance is 120 days from the date of award, with an estimated performance window from March 25, 2026, to July 24, 2026. While no specific award value is stated in the solicitation, offerors will provide pricing for nine line items covering lighting bars, components, console installations, accessories, and labor. Contractors must deliver government-furnished equipment to and pick up completed vehicles from their business address, which must be located within a 100-mile radius of 1700 Bypass Road in Winchester, Kentucky; contractors with business addresses exceeding this distance will not be considered for award. Service Contract Labor Standards apply, with Kentucky wage determinations referenced for prevailing wage compliance across multiple occupational classifications.
