Please register here: https://dotcmp.com/event/volpe2024industryday Amendment 01: Updated response date to 12/16/2024. The Volpe Center supports multiple DoD rail modernization and sustainment programs, providing engineering, technical, acquisition, and program management support to DoD as required.

As the DoD modernizes its fleet, legacy rolling stock may need to be retired as vehicles reach their end of life and are replaced with vehicles with emerging technology, such as to meet emission, safety, or regulatory requirements. In other cases, refurbishment of vehicles may be a cost effective alternative to meet these requirements.

To ensure the safe operation of DoD rolling stock, maintenance, inspections, and repairs of legacy and new vehicles is required by industry certified and Federal Government approved personnel. The DoD have rail operations in approximately 45 military facilities in the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Alaska. Each facility has rolling stock to meet their mission requirements, with quantity and types unique to their mission.

The Volpe Center is preparing to support the DoD over the next 5 years as it modernizes and improves its sustainment operations. The Volpe Center intends to solicit a multi-year, multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), with a five-year ordering period and primarily firm-fixed-price type task orders, with time and material and other type task orders as needed.

This work will include, but is not limited to, manufacturing or refurbishment of locomotives, rail car spotters, and freight rail cars (boxcars, flat cars, and other types) and the in-the-field inspection/repair/maintenance of new and existing rolling stock to be compliant with DOT, DoD, and industry safety and operational regulation/requirements. The Classificiation section above does not reflect the full list of PSC and NAICS codes. Full details are on the attached "Sources Sought for Rolling Stock IDIQ" PDF.
