- Description
- INTERESTED PARTIES MUST REQUEST AUTOSTANDARDS ACCOUNTS BY JANUARY 25, 2023, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BELOW** The General Services Administration's (GSA) Automotive Acquisition Support Center invites firms interested in submitting offers under the Government's upcoming 2024 model year solicitation for the 2024 Europe, North Africa, and Middle East Vehicle Program beginning May 2, 2023. This process, conducted via GSA's AutoStandards web application, assists GSA Automotive to develop the Government's technical requirements for motor vehicles. Vehicle types being sought by the Government for this program include, but are not limited to: - Sedans and Passenger Station Wagons - Passenger Vans - Sport Utility Vehicles (crossovers and full-size) - Pickup trucks� - Vocational Body Trucks - Medium & Heavy Trucks include: dump, stake, cargo vans, refrigerated vans, and tractors - Passenger Shuttle Buses (16-60) In order for a particular model to be proposed and available in AutoBid, GSA�s price proposal submission system, once the final solicitation is released, the model must be created and technical data provided to GSA during the AutoStandards process. �Due to Systems limitations, there will not be an opportunity to submit alternative models after the release of the solicitation. Prospective offerors may choose to submit a proposal under any model created during the AutoStandards process once the solicitation is issued, but all prospective offerors will be limited to the models with technical data submitted during AutoStandards. Additional information will be provided during the Pre-Solicitation Conference. The General Services Administration is the mandatory source for vehicles purchased in the United States under the Federal Property Management Regulation (FPMR) 101-26.501. 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 AutoStandards process engages interested parties to provide technical data for vehicles to be potentially offered to the Government in response to these forthcoming solicitations and to assist in development of the Federal Vehicles Standards for the current model year and specific program. As noted above, all prospective models must be established during the AutoStandards process in order to be included in AutoBid once the final solicitation is released. Please note, GSA is NOT requesting pricing at this time. GSA is currently only in the requirements development phase of the acquisition. Interested parties must complete the following steps prior to January 25, 2023, in order to participate: 1) Interested parties are required to request an AutoStandards account no later than January 25, 2023. A user name and password is obtained by submitting the attached �Request for AutoStandards Account� document, complete with all necessary information, to automotiveedi.partnerships@gsa.gov. GSA intends to open AutoStandards on Tuesday, January 26, 2023, and close it for vendor technical data submission on Monday, March 27, 2023. 2) Interested parties must review the list of makes/models being sought and submit any additional models for consideration to John Hampson, GSA Vehicle Engineer Branch Chief, at john.hampson@gsa.gov by January 25, 2023. Please see the attached �Current Active Models� as a starting point and identify any additions with your firm�s submission. These model lists are necessary for GSA to establish them in our database so they will be available in AutoStandards for technical data population.
