Rental Vehicles in Alaska

The United States Marine Corps is seeking to procure rental vehicles in Alaska to support Arctic Edge 2025, a military exercise requiring 48 vehicles across multiple categories including large SUVs, large sedans, passenger vans, 4x4 vehicles, box trucks, and stakebeds. The vehicles must be 2015 model year or newer with fully functioning safety features, brakes, air conditioning, and fluids, with the contractor responsible for full maintenance, repairs, fuel provision, and fuel cards. All vehicles must be delivered clean with full fuel tanks and available for transport coordination between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM. The solicitation operates under NAICS code 532111 (Passenger Car Rental) with a size standard of $47 million, and quotes must be submitted to GySgt Baptiste at raynn.baptiste@usmc.mil by July 10, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST. The procurement follows the combined synopsis/solicitation format under Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 12.6 for commercial products and services, with solicitation documents incorporating provisions effective through Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-04.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, specifically targeting service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and HUBZone small businesses. The contract involves 48 vehicles distributed across various rental periods from July 20, 2025, through September 8, 2025, with the longest rental periods extending approximately six weeks. Vehicle pickup and drop-off locations include Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage and various points throughout Alaska, with performance locations spanning Anchorage and Fairbanks. The rental periods vary by vehicle type, with some vehicles needed for short-term use (5-6 days) and others required for extended periods (up to 39 days). While no specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation notice, the scale of the requirement suggests a substantial rental agreement to support the multi-week military exercise operations across Alaska's major population centers.
