Houston Freightliner holds a single major Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract with the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service for the GSA Automotive Medium and Heavy-Weight Commercial Program, commonly known as Autochoice, valued at $138,377,382 and extending through January 22, 2028. This multiple award IDV contract, awarded on January 23, 2023, provides Houston Freightliner with the vehicle supply mechanism through which it executes delivery orders supporting civilian federal agency fleet modernization and replenishment efforts. Under this IDV umbrella, the company has been awarded numerous task orders for the full spectrum of medium and heavy-duty vehicles previously described, enabling the federal government to efficiently acquire approximately 50,000 non-tactical vehicles and 500 buses annually across the civilian federal sector. The Autochoice program, also known as the GSA Automotive MHWC Program, facilitates streamlined procurement of specialized commercial vehicle types through an established vehicle acquisition framework that allows participating federal agencies to rapidly source vehicles meeting specific operational requirements without conducting individual competitive solicitations for each procurement need.
