GSA's Vehicle Purchasing Division purchases an estimated 50,000 new model year non-tactical vehicles for Federal Executive Agencies and the Department of Defense annually. All GSA vehicle purchases are governed by program specific Federal Vehicle Standards, which are assimilated by GSA Engineering personnel prior to solicitation publication. The technical review process engages interested parties to provide technical data for vehicles to be potentially offered to the Government in response to the forthcoming solicitation and to assist in the development of the Federal Vehicles Standards for the current model year on the 2025 Main Bus Program. Please note, GSA is NOT requesting pricing at this time. GSA is currently only in the requirements development phase of the acquisition. Interested parties, which have not already done so, should complete the following steps in order to participate: Send a list of makes/models they intend to submit for consideration to Dillon Akyuz, GSA Vehicle Engineer, at doruk.akyuz@gsa.gov by January 18, 2024. Please see the attached "Current Active Models" as a starting point and identify any deletions or additions with your firm's submission. These model lists are necessary for GSA to establish them in our database so they will be available for technical data population. GSA will hold a combined virtual Pre-Solicitation Conference and Industry Day on Thursday, January 18, 2024, from 11:00am-12:00pm EST to review these instructions as well as a discussion of changes from the current 2020 Main Bus Program. All interested parties should plan on attending. The meeting info is as follows: Meeting ID meet.google.com/jpj-jpva-eud Phone Numbers (?US)?+1 401-646-2406 PIN: ?361 241 080# For a better understanding of the potential solicitation requirements, please review the 2020 Main Bus Program Solicitation attached herewith. GSA anticipates many similar proposal requirements and terms and conditions, though full draft RFP terms will be released in the Spring of 2024 under a separate notice. GSA looks forward to your firm's participation in the 2025 Federal Standards for Buses.
