The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking truck repair services for a 2024 Chevy 2500 Extended Cab 4x4 that was involved in an accident at the Marquette Biological Station in Michigan. The scope of work requires comprehensive restoration of the vehicle, including repairs to the cab, side impact sensors, rear door, pickup box, step, mudflap, gas cover/housing, reflector, and complete vehicle diagnostic testing. Quotations must be submitted by December 8, 2025 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time and should include a detailed technical approach with proposed parts, labor, and supplies, along with an itemized price breakdown. The government will evaluate offers based on technical approach and price as approximately equal factors, meaning non-price factors carry significant weight in the selection process. Interested contractors may request a site visit to assess the vehicle's condition, and the contract performance period runs from December 15, 2025 through June 30, 2026.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only eligible small businesses may compete for the award. The vehicle is currently drivable and will be repaired at the contractor's facility, with transportation costs over 10 miles being the contractor's responsibility and government-covered transportation under 10 miles. While no specific award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents, contractors should reference the Service Contract Act Wage Determination for Michigan Counties to understand applicable labor cost requirements, which establishes prevailing wage rates and benefits for all service contract work. The place of performance is the contractor's repair facility, with the vehicle currently located at the Marquette Biological Station in Marquette, Michigan. Technical points of contact are Patrick Wick at extension 1243 and Justin Oster at extension 1234, both reachable through the Marquette Biological Station.
