The U.S. Embassy in Brasilia seeks specialized companies to provide preventive and corrective maintenance for its fleet of diverse vehicles, including hybrids, diesels, and armored cars. This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the responsibilities and requirements for contractors, which must include certified technicians who can perform routine services such as oil changes, brake servicing, and inspections as per strict guidelines. Companies must utilize original parts and comply with specific maintenance standards, particularly for armored and hybrid/electric vehicles. The contractor is responsible for the cleanliness of vehicles post-service and must meet a service delivery timeline, typically within five days from order confirmation. The maintenance schedule varies by vehicle type, with specific checks detailed for gasoline, diesel, armored, and electric vehicles. Additionally, a quality control plan is mandatory to ensure compliance with the agreement's requirements and maintain service quality. This initiative reflects the Embassy's commitment to maintaining a safe and operational vehicle fleet for its logistical needs.
The U.S. Embassy in Brasília has issued a solicitation (19BR2525Q0002) for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) concerning the preventive and corrective maintenance of vehicles.
