- TITLE: Integration of Mexican Commercial Motor Carriers into the IRP and IFTA Programs This is a COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in the notice and following the Simplified Acquisition Procedures in FAR Part 13.5 THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-6. The US Department of Interior, through its Franchise Fund activity, GovWorks, is issuing this solicitation, Solicitation Number 0406RQ60105 on behalf of Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This contract will procure technical, administrative, translation and interpretation support the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, DOT. Consistent with the NAFTA's commitment to eliminate non-tariff barriers to trade and our overall efforts to facilitate implementation of the NAFTA truck and bus access provisions, the FMCSA is focused on implementing procedures that allow both U.S. and Mexican carriers to obtain IRP and IFTA credentials and allow the carriers to use the highways of each NAFTA country on an equal basis. This effort provides the southern Border States the technical and administrative assistance they need to effectively implement procedures to issue credentials to Mexican carriers as the NAFTA access provisions are implemented and the carriers begin to operate beyond the border commercial zones. Concurrently, the work encompassed within the contract will allow the States to continue to work towards a long-term solution that permits Mexico to become a member jurisdiction of IRP and IFTA and register Mexican motor carriers under the terms of the agreements and will provide the FMCSA and the States the opportunity to work towards a reciprocity arrangement with Mexico for U.S. carriers that will operate in Mexico. The resultant contract is anticipated to be Time-and-Material Contract Type. NAICS CODE: 541614 PRODUCT CODE: R706 COMPETITION: Full and Open Competition; Unrestricted.
