NM-refuges-Z6 LE upfit

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a vendor to perform a law enforcement vehicle upfit for a 2024 Ford F-150 truck located in New Mexico. The solicitation (140FS225Q0095) requires comprehensive vehicle modification, including specialized radio wiring, emergency lighting systems, custom police package wiring, and integrated law enforcement equipment such as a vertical M4 gun mount and programmable electrical systems. Technical capabilities, past performance, and delivery schedule will be the primary evaluation criteria, with technical and past performance deemed more important than price. The quote submission deadline is set for 3:00 PM on April 22, 2025, with a contract performance period from April 24, 2025, to September 30, 2025. Technical points of contact include Jeremy Lawrence and Frank Montoya, with Lydia Patrick serving as the contracting officer.

The solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside within the Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing NAICS category. The vehicle will be delivered to the FWS-Refuges office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with specific upfitting requirements including 360-degree intersection lights, front grill guard, custom console, siren controller, and specialized wiring with MIL-SPEC components. The vendor must complete vehicle upfitting within 150 days and provide a mandatory 12-month warranty on all work. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract requires precise technical modifications to ensure the vehicle meets law enforcement operational standards. The project aims to outfit the vehicle with advanced equipment to support Federal Wildlife Officers during patrol and investigative duties, with optional additions like window tinting, winch, prisoner cage, and cell phone booster.
