Tire replacement

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, is seeking tire replacement services for their Manchester Fuel Department fleet vehicles. The procurement covers replacement of tires on fuel trucks, work trucks, and oil spill response boat trailers, with the current fleet tires being over 10 years old and requiring replacement. The solicitation initially specified TOYO brand tires but has been amended to allow flexibility in tire selection, including comparable alternatives and either 10R or 11R sizes for the Ford F800 vehicle. Evaluation will be based on three factors: technical capability to meet Performance Work Statement requirements, past performance history, and price competitiveness. The deadline for submission of questions is one day prior to the solicitation closing date of August 15, 2025, with questions to be submitted via email to the contracting official two days prior to closing.

The solicitation has conflicting set-aside designations, with the main notice indicating Total Small Business while the government files reference Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside. The contract involves replacing approximately 38-40 tires across multiple vehicles including 8 International Work Star trucks, 10 International trucks, 2 Freightliner M2-112 trucks, 1 Ford F800, and 6 Carnai boat trailers. The government anticipates awarding a single firm fixed-price contract under FAR Parts 12 and 13, with tire delivery required prior to September 30, 2025. Warranty requirements include lifetime coverage for defects and flat repairs, with 40,000-mile warranties for trailer tires and 100,000-mile warranties for semi-truck tires. All work will be performed in Port Orchard, Washington, with the contractor responsible for tire removal, disposal in accordance with environmental regulations, and installation of new tires meeting DOD safety standards.
