It is anticipated that the truck will make approximately 4 trips each weekday. Equipment will be loaded and unloaded at ground height, by rolling the equipment carts onto the van/truck via lift gate. The NAICS code for this contract action is 532111 Passenger Car Rental (SBA Size Standard: $47.0 Million). The Product Service Code for this action is 2320 - Trucks and Truck Tractors, Wheeled. Based on market research, The Department of Veterans Affairs has deemed that the truck rental requirement that will be procured will need to be sole sourced to Ryder Truck Rental Inc.
