Vehicle Upfitting for the United States Secret Service

The United States Secret Service has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole source contract award for vehicle upfitting services to ESI Equipment Inc. This notice is published by the Department of Homeland Security US Secret Service and serves as an informational announcement only, explicitly stating that it is not a request for competitive offers, quotes, or capability statements. The contract involves upfitting three government-furnished vehicles - two 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WTs and one 2024 Ford F-250 - for the Technical Security Division's All Hazards branch. The vehicles will be equipped for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) response and technical rescue operations in the National Capitol Region. The determination to sole source this requirement was made in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.5 and is solely at the government's discretion.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the Secret Service's intent to award a sole source contract for specialized vehicle upfitting services that require custom design, fabrication, and installation of SpaceKap RRU Model 644 and 853 bed caps with unique modular, transferable capabilities. The contract will be firm-fixed price with a one-year performance period and includes requirements for designing internal compartments, procuring materials, installing hardware and systems, conducting testing and quality assurance, and providing comprehensive documentation. Questions or comments regarding this notice must be submitted via email to the designated Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer no later than 7:00am EST on July 21, 2025, with phone calls or voicemails explicitly not accepted. Since this is a sole source award, there are no eligibility criteria for contractor participation, and no solicitation will be posted as a result of this notice. The justification for the sole source award is based on ESI Equipment's exclusive authorization to distribute SpaceKap products and their ability to provide integrated upfitting services for the specialized CBRNE response vehicles.
