About this opportunity
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), specifically the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), is seeking qualified transportation service providers to deliver non-emergency transport services across all 67 counties in Pennsylvania. The procurement targets professional drivers who can transport employees with disabilities, including those who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise unable to drive themselves while conducting Commonwealth business. Services will be provided through 21 total BBVS and BVRS OVR District offices, with transportation requirements including both ambulatory and non-ambulatory transports. Ambulatory transports involve moving personnel who can walk but cannot safely operate a motor vehicle, while non-ambulatory transports require vehicles equipped with wheelchair ramps, lifts, and tie-downs to accommodate passengers with mobility challenges. Drivers will be responsible for transporting employees from their assigned headquarters or district office to work locations, with a guaranteed minimum of two hours per day and reimbursement for driving time, wait time, and mileage at established rates. Questions regarding the Invitation for Bid (IFB) #6100064131 must be submitted via email by 4 PM ET on August 5, 2025, to the L & I Central Procurement resource account.
This procurement is exclusively reserved for DGS Small Businesses, requiring bidders to attach a valid Small Business Certificate to be deemed eligible. Potential suppliers must meet stringent qualifications, including current driver's licenses, vehicle inspections, comprehensive insurance certifications, background checks, and compliance with badging procedures. Contractors will be subject to extensive documentation requirements and must maintain professional conduct with adherence to specific performance metrics. The contract structure allows for potential multiple awards with an initial three-year term and options for two additional one-year renewals. Pricing is structured with hourly rates ranging from $35 to $40 per hour, depending on the district office and type of transport (ambulatory or non-ambulatory). Bidders must complete multiple forms including confidentiality agreements, lobbying certifications, worker protection certifications, and domestic workforce utilization certifications. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a significant multi-year transportation services contract covering transportation needs across Pennsylvania's vocational rehabilitation system.
