Intent to Sole Source - Vehicle Leasing Associates

The United States Secret Service (USSS) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Vehicle Leasing Associates (VLA) for a black 2018 Chevrolet Suburban LT that has been on a lease contract GS-30F-021BA/HSSS01-17-F-0188. Vehicle Leasing Associates provided the original lease to the USSS in 2017. The vehicle currently has 18,000 miles on the odometer. Given that there is currently a shortage of vehicles to lease with lead times of six (6) months or longer, keeping this vehicle will allow for continued operations as well as eliminate costs of replacement. This notice of intent is neither a request for quotation nor a solicitation of offers. Based on this requirement, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source under the authority of FAR 13.501. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement on a full and open competitive basis upon receipt of responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No formal solicitation package is available. Only written e-mail to [email protected] inquiries will be responded to and must be received no later than 5:00 pm, EST, March 18, 2022.
