Questions and Answers for Vehicle installation and Removal Services for Emergency Equipment

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Office of Criminal Investigations seeks installation and removal services for radios, emergency equipment, truck bed covers, and window tinting in government vehicles operated by federal law enforcement officers, with a questions-and-answers addendum posted September 3 addressing vendor inquiries related to RFQ 75F40126Q135867.

Place of performance is North Bethesda, Maryland. The procurement covers two bundled configurations of universal emergency lighting kits designed for late-model sedans, SUVs, and light-duty pickup trucks without vehicle-specific makes and models. Bundle 1 includes installation of two front and two rear red and blue LED lights (mounted at windshield top and rear deck or rear window, concealed by tint), external siren speaker, mini controller, siren amplifier, and all necessary wiring and cabling. Bundle 2 encompasses all Bundle 1 components plus two additional side LED lights (interior rear side windows, concealed by tint), front headlight wig wag, and rear taillight wig wag. Wiring must use universal configuration with individually fused, ignition-activated systems that do not splice into existing vehicle wiring and do not require vehicle-specific harnesses. The contractor must supply all emergency equipment and perform installation services; the government may provide equipment from existing inventory or the contractor may furnish it. Radio removal and return services may be required occasionally but radio installation is not. NAICS code 811114 applies (Specialized Automotive Repair), with PSC J023 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Ground Effect Vehicles, Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Cycles). No set-aside applies. Vendors should submit quotes under the NAICS code deemed most appropriate, and no brand-name-specific products are required.
