The Bureau of Land Management sought upfitting and decommissioning services for law enforcement vehicles with a proposal due date of May 28, 2026; however, Amendment 0001, issued May 27, 2026, cancels the entire solicitation. The original solicitation was a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for commercial items.

The requirement involved upfitting three law enforcement patrol vehicles—one 2025 Ford F-150 Police Responder and two 2026 Ford F-150 Police Responders—to Montana state emergency vehicle specifications, and decommissioning three retired law enforcement vehicles: two 2021 RAM 2500s and one 2020 Chevy Tahoe. The vendor was required to be located within 300 miles of Lewistown, Montana, which is the delivery location. The Montana State Office would administer the contract, with a performance period originally scheduled from May 26 through September 30, 2026.

Upfit work included installation of Whelen emergency lighting systems, LED spotlights and grill lights, Whelen Cencom Core control system, Setina PB 400 front bumper replacement (subject to BLM pre-approval), Havis console and mounting systems, radar unit, prisoner cage with cargo partition, tactical seat covers, Warn EVO 10-S winch with synthetic rope, Black Oak LED light bars, and all associated wiring. Decommissioning required removal of emergency equipment, prisoner cages, light bars, antennas, graphics, and consoles, with antenna penetrations sealed for water-tight integrity. The NAICS code was 811114 (Specialized Automotive Repair) with a small business size standard of $9.0 million. Evaluation was based on price and past performance. Award was a firm fixed-price, single-award purchase order.
