Vehicle types for which these services needed include, but are not limited to, sedans, station wagons, sport utility vehicles, full & mid-size pickup trucks, full & mid-size vans, ambulances, police vehicles, school & transport buses, medium and heavy duty trucks, and wrecker & carrier transport vehicles. GSA Fleet’s vehicles are powered through conventional as well as most alternative fuels, including: electric, hybrid electric, hydrogen, mixtures containing up to 85 percent methanol or denatured ethanol, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and biodiesel blends. Contractors shall supply personnel to execute all services within the specified timeframes as required under this statement of work. GSA Fleet uses consignee and dealer delivery methods for receiving its new vehicles. GSA Fleet currently contracts with commercial vendors to carry out these services. The majority of GSA marshalling service requirements are a one-for-one vehicle exchange. The majority of new vehicles received will have an exchange vehicle to be turned in that will be sale eligible or available for reassignment to a GSA customer. GSA also orders additional vehicles which will not have a vehicle to turn in for exchange for the new vehicle. In addition, there are other circumstances such as when a vehicle is deemed excess to the agency or uneconomical to repair, where a vehicle will be turned in for sale or reassignment, and there will not be a new vehicle ordered for the exchange.
