DCSA requires shuttle bus services to include regular and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant shuttle buses for DCSA employees at the Boyers, PA Iron Mountain facility. The Product S… (show all)
ervice Code (PSC) is V212 and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 485991. The anticipated award date is December 30, 2026. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). Services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued service of shuttle buses.

The buses will provide service between the outside upper parking areas and work areas inside the facility during the designated hours of operation. DCSA is one of several tenants located on the Iron Mountain property in Boyers, PA. Iron Mountain exercises exclusive and comprehensive control over all access to the property including the roadways, parking areas, and internal transportation infrastructure used for the shuttle bus route. They are solely responsible for developing, implementing, and enforcing the security requirement for all lessors on the property. These requirements are extensive and necessitate a thorough vetting process for personnel and vehicles accessing the sites. While this notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes, interested parties may submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to provide services identical to the shuttle services. This statement must include detailed technical documentation with specific evidence supporting the claim. Generalized marketing materials will not be considered. Submissions must be received via email no later than 9:00 AM EST on October 8, 2026. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in the preparation of responses to this announcement. This is the only notice that will be issued for these services. A decision by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. For questions concerning this Notice of Intent, please contact Derek Michael, via email only at derek.t.michael.civ@mail.mil, and Todd Little, via email only at todd.k.little.civ@mail.mil.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
