Vehicle Upfitting

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office is seeking vehicle upfitting services for wildland fire and off-road vehicles across multiple federal agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The solicitation (140L0625Q0002) requires contractors to modify government-provided chassis with specialized equipment for use on secondary and primitive roads, including installing emergency lighting, consoles, off-road protection, and other accessories. Quotations are due by 5:00 PM MT on December 9, 2024, and will be evaluated with technical and past performance being significantly more important than price. Contractors must submit three past performance references and demonstrate capability to upfit vehicles according to detailed specifications. The evaluation will focus on the most advantageous offer to the government, considering technical merit, past performance, and pricing.

The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses registered in the System for Award Management under the Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing NAICS code. The procurement involves upfitting over 100 vehicles across BLM districts in states including Idaho, Colorado, Utah, and California, with individual vehicle costs ranging from approximately $30,000 to $38,000. The contract will be a firm fixed-price arrangement, with the government delivering chassis to the contractor's facility for modification. Vehicles will be from various classes (653, 654, 655, 656, and 658) and require customization for wildland fire suppression activities. Contractors must provide a detailed delivery schedule and can perform upfitting services at their own facility, with the government indicating that all vehicles will be available for immediate delivery following contract award.
