About this opportunity

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is seeking a small business contractor to provide student transportation services for the Hanscom Air Force Base community in Massachusetts. The solicitation (HE125425RE017) requires a comprehensive transportation solution that includes daily commute services for approximately 85 students residing at Hanscom AFB and attending Bedford High School, covering 180 school days plus 5 potential make-up days, and an additional 108 days of co-curricular after-school transportation for around 40 students. The contract will evaluate proposals using a Best Value Tradeoff methodology, with technical approach and past performance being more important than price. Technical evaluations will focus on four subfactors: Staffing Approach, Recruitment and Retention, Management Approach, and Vehicle Approach. Key submission deadlines include questions due by 12:00 p.m. EDT on May 5, 2025, and proposals due by 12:00 p.m. EDT on May 26, 2025, with all submissions required to be sent electronically to specific DoDEA contacts.

The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside with a NAICS code of 485410 and a small business size standard of $30.0 million. The contract structure includes a base year from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods potentially extending services through August 31, 2030. The place of performance is Bedford, Massachusetts, with transportation services covering students from pre-kindergarten through high school, including special needs students. While no incumbent contractor is specifically named, the solicitation requires detailed compliance with safety protocols, vehicle maintenance standards, and personnel qualifications. The contract will be awarded as a Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with specific requirements for vehicle conditions, communication protocols, and operational performance metrics that include 98-100% compliance across transportation, safety, and personnel standards.
