Utility Vehicle Leasing

The United States Marine Corps is soliciting proposals for a firm-fixed-price contract to lease 15 flight line utility vehicles (FLUV) in direct support of the Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona. The vehicles must meet specific technical requirements including minimum two-person seating capacity, 12 cubic foot cargo bed with 800-pound capacity, ground clearance of 4.9 inches, maximum speed of 20 MPH, LED lighting, automatic parking brake, and maximum dimensions of 77 inches tall and 50 inches wide with foldable windshields. The contractor will be responsible for all maintenance, repairs, insurance coverage, and ensuring equipment condition throughout the contract period, with requirements for delivery inspections, emergency response, and both preventative and corrective maintenance. The solicitation will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection method, requiring both technical proposals detailing vehicle specifications and quality control plans. Quotes are due by July 8, 2025 at 9:00 AM PST.

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 532120 (Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing). The contract will run for 65 days from September 3, 2025 through October 30, 2025, with maximum vehicle usage limited to 18 hours per day. The 15 utility vehicles will be deployed at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, specifically supporting MAWTS-1 operations under the Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command (MAGTFTC). While no specific contract value is disclosed in the available documentation, the short-term nature of the lease arrangement and specialized military flight line requirements suggest this is a focused operational support contract. The government will conduct daily operator maintenance inspections and has established a mitigation plan for tracking and monitoring vehicle usage throughout the performance period.
