Installation Transportation Services - CONUS

The U.S. Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal is seeking industry input through a Request for Information (RFI) regarding shuttle transportation services for soldiers and authorized personnel at 16 continental U.S. military installations. The procurement encompasses all personnel, equipment, vehicles, supplies, and facilities necessary to transport soldiers, Department of Army civilians, contractors, and military dependents between barracks and dining facilities across multiple installations including Fort Gordon, Fort Benning, Fort Bragg, Fort Meade, Fort Carson, Fort Irwin, Fort Riley, Fort Stewart, Fort Huachuca, Joint Base Lee-Langley, Fort Hood, Fort Campbell, Fort Drum, Fort Bliss, Presidio of Monterey, and West Point. Critical contract requirements include maintaining a fleet with at least two ADA-compliant vehicles, achieving 100% mission availability with the contractor responsible for all fuel and maintenance, meeting an 80% daily vehicle fleet capacity for ridership, and ensuring on-time arrivals at pickup and drop-off points 90% of the time. Drivers must possess valid driver's licenses, appropriate security clearances, fewer than two moving violations in the previous 12 months, English fluency, and annual winter driving training. The RFI deadline for responses is April 2, 2026, and interested vendors are requested to provide a Rough Order of Magnitude to assist the government in gauging potential costs.

This is a pre-solicitation notice issued solely for information and market research purposes and does not constitute a commitment to issue a formal Request for Proposal. No set-aside designations have been applied to this opportunity. The government seeks vendor input to refine the transportation requirements and address industry concerns before proceeding with formal solicitation. Key numerical details include the provision of CAC readers on all vehicles for ridership tracking, implementation of GPS-enabled fleet tracking systems, two-way communication capabilities, and a customer-facing mobile application with real-time transit data. The contract will operate on a tiered ridership system prioritizing Essential Station Messing soldiers, followed by the general soldier population on a space-available basis, and then Department of Army civilians, contractors, and military dependents based on available funding. The contractor bears full responsibility for all labor-related costs, including benefits and bonuses negotiated through Collective Bargaining Agreements, and must comply with a 10-panel drug testing requirement prior to service and annual testing for all personnel.
