GSA's Vehicle Purchasing Division purchases 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. 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 Main Bus Program. Please note, GSA is NOT requesting pricing at this time. GSA is currently only in the requirements development phase of the acquisition. Interested parties, which have not already done so, should complete the following steps in order to participate: Send a list of makes/models they intend to submit for consideration to Dillon Akyuz, GSA Vehicle Engineer, at doruk.akyuz@gsa.gov by January 18, 2024. Please see the attached "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. GSA will hold a combined virtual Pre-Solicitation Conference and Industry Day on Thursday, January 18, 2024, from 11:00am-12:00pm EST to review these instructions as well as a discussion of changes from the current 2020 Main Bus Program. All interested parties should plan on attending. The meeting info is as follows: Meeting ID meet.google.com/jpj-jpva-eud Phone Numbers (?US)?+1 401-646-2406 PIN: ?361 241 080# For a better understanding of the potential solicitation requirements, please review the 2020 Main Bus Program Solicitation attached herewith. GSA anticipates many similar proposal requirements and terms and conditions, though full draft RFP terms will be released in the Spring of 2024 under a separate notice. GSA looks forward to your firm's participation in the 2025 Federal Standards for Buses. For additional information please contact GSA's Vehicle Purchasing Division at 844-472-1200 or by email at vehiclebuying@gsa.gov.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 336211 · PSC 2310 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit stores 3 notices tied to this solicitation. Review the notice chain and official SAM.gov history because later postings can change dates, scope or instructions.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
Questions to resolve next
What this opportunity record tells you
SAM.gov identifies this as a sources sought from GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION. The record was posted on January 11, 2024 and currently lists December 31, 2028 as the response deadline. GovBidFit keeps source facts separate from its matching guidance so you can see what comes from the federal notice.
The listed product or service classification is NAICS 336211 · PSC 2310. The set-aside field is Unrestricted. These fields help narrow your search, but they do not replace the full solicitation, amendments, attachments, clauses or eligibility language on the official source.
Before deciding to bid
GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
