The initial contract term is two years, with an option to renew for two additional one-year terms, and requires the contractor to have a minimum of three years of experience in vehicle lift inspections and maintenance.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Material markup is limited to a maximum of 10%, and labor rates will be specified for straight-time and after-hours work.
