This Statement of Need outlines a requirement for a one-year lease of eight vehicles to support a new mission involving personnel, cargo transport, maintenance, and student transportation at Kirtland AFB, NM. The vehicle fleet comprises one 1-ton stake and platform truck, one 2.5-ton stake and platform truck, one 1/2-ton crew cab pickup truck, two cargo vans, and three 15-passenger vans. The contractor must deliver, inspect, and pick up the vehicles at Kirtland AFB, with pickup scheduled approximately 30 days post-award. Routine maintenance—including oil changes, tire rotations, and normal wear-and-tear repairs—is the contractor's responsibility. However, the government unit will fund any repairs resulting from accidents or negligence per applicable Air Force instructions. Monthly mileage per vehicle is estimated between 200 and 500 miles. Securing these leases is critical to avoid using aircraft for ground support, which causes significant training disruptions and operational delays.
