GSA 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 procures 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.

Interested parties should complete the following steps by August 20, 2024, to participate:
1. Vendors shall complete the attached “Request for GSAFleet.gov Account” form. Attach the form in an email with the subject line “GSAFleet.gov Vendor Account Request” and send to automotiveedi.partnerships@gsa.gov.
Please Note: Vendors that currently have a GSAFleet.gov account are not required to complete this step unless making changes to their account.
2. Vendors shall submit a list of all makes/models they intend to submit for consideration using the Google Form which will be provided at a later date. Please review the above current active models as a starting point and identify any deletions or additions with your firm's submission. These model lists are necessary for GSA to establish them in our database so they will be available for technical data population.
For each entry, please provide the manufacturer name, model name, and your suggested SIN (GSA Engineering will make all final SIN determinations). You may also add any notes or information bearing on the vehicle's SIN designation.

GSA will hold a virtual Pre-Solicitation Conference and Industry Day on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, from 11:30am-12:30pm EDT to review solicitation instructions as well as discuss changes from the current 2021 Wheelchair-Accessible

GSA anticipates many similar proposal requirements and terms and conditions. The anticipated issue date of the official solicitation is December of 2024, under a separate notice.

GSA’s proposed 2025 Federal Vehicle Standards will be available in GSAFleet.gov to interested parties to view, comment, and provide feedback during the Vehicle Supplier Commenting Period, which will be available beginning on September 2, 2024. This process, conducted via GSA's Engineering Division, assists GSA's Vehicle Buying program to develop the Government's technical requirements for motor vehicles.

The technical review process engages interested parties to provide technical data for vehicles to be potentially offered to the Government in response to the forthcoming solicitation and to assist in the development of the Federal Vehicles Standards for the current model year on the 2025 Wheelchair-Accessible Light Vehicle Program. Please note, GSA is NOT requesting pricing at this time. GSA is currently only in the requirements development phase of the acquisition.

This solicitation, notices and postings will be made via the Government-wide Point of Entry (GPE), located via the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov. GSA anticipates posting a DRAFT version of the solicitation on November 4, 2024. The GSAFleet.gov bid period is anticipated to be opened on December 13, 2024. At that time, interested parties will provide technical and pricing data for vehicles offered to the Government in response to the solicitation in support of the 2025 Wheelchair-Accessible Light Vehicles Program.

GSA looks forward to your firm's participation in the 2025 Federal Standards & Solicitation for Wheelchair-Accessible Light Vehicles.
