Synopsis--Mobile Communications Office Vehicle (MCOV) BPA - GSA MAS

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Community Section has issued a Special Notice for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to acquire Mobile Communications Office Vehicles (MCOVs) through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). The solicitation is specifically targeted at small businesses within the MAS 3361V schedule, with the intent to award a single BPA for a base year plus four option years. FEMA anticipates finalizing the award around June 1, 2025, and is seeking to expand its current fleet of mobile communication vehicles across second-generation (GEN-II) and third-generation (GEN-III) platforms. These specialized vehicles are designed for rapid deployment in disaster response, emergency situations, and special events, providing critical support to disaster victims and management teams. The vehicles must be self-sustaining and capable of operating in challenging environments.

Potential contractors must physically visit FEMA's Frederick, Maryland facility to inspect the current GEN-II platform configuration, which is critical for understanding the precise requirements for new vehicle acquisitions. The solicitation mandates that new GEN-II purchases must exactly replicate the existing platforms in physical size, form, fit, function, and performance to maintain fleet consistency. For the new GEN-III platforms, FEMA is seeking a more tactical and compact design with enhanced off-road capabilities and maneuverability in austere conditions. Eligibility is restricted to small businesses holding GSA MAS contracts under the Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing category (NAICS 336120). Contractors are responsible for their own measurements and documentation during the facility visit, and must ensure complete alignment with FEMA's detailed specifications. The due date for submissions is April 15, 2025, providing interested small businesses approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their proposals through the GSA eBuy system.
