Tips for Winning Transportation & Fleet Contracts in Washington

  • GSA Schedule 751 covers vehicle leasing and fleet management: getting on this schedule opens access to federal fleet contracts across all agencies.
  • Many transit agencies require Buy America compliance under 49 U.S.C. § 5323(j), meaning vehicles and components must be manufactured domestically.
  • State DOT contracts often require prequalification. Start the prequalification process months before bidding: it typically takes 30-90 days.

Transportation & Fleet RFP FAQ

What is Buy America compliance for transit procurements?

Buy America (49 U.S.C. § 5323(j)) requires that iron, steel, and manufactured products used in FTA-funded projects be produced in the United States. Rolling stock (buses, railcars) must have final assembly in the U.S. with at least 70% domestic content. This applies to all transit procurements receiving federal funding.

How do I bid on government fleet vehicle contracts?

Most federal fleet purchases go through GSA Fleet or the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Register in SAM.gov, get on GSA Schedule 751 (Leased Motor Vehicles) or 23V (Vehicles), and monitor GSA eBuy for task orders. State and local fleet purchases are posted on individual state procurement portals.

What certifications help win transportation contracts?

DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) certification is critical for USDOT-funded work: states must meet DBE participation goals. ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certification helps for fleet maintenance. CDL requirements apply to driving-related contracts.

Are there set-asides for small businesses in transportation?

Yes. Federal transportation contracts have small business set-asides under FAR Part 19. State DOTs receiving federal highway funds must meet DBE goals (typically 5-15% of contract value). Many transit agencies also have their own small business or local business preference programs.
