Industry Day Invitation -Europe Transportation Services

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Procurement Office will conduct two (2)Industry Days and welcome companies capable of and qualified to provide daily commute and special needs vehicle transportation (buses, vans, & taxis) services in Europe (Belgium, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, and United Kingdom). The purpose of the Industry Days (United Kingdom and Germany) are to allow the Government and interested parties to share information pertaining to DoDEA's transportation requirements in Europe. The Government intends to provide a brief of the upcoming requirements for School Years 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, detailed guidance to offerors on preparing quotes, and answer questions from interested parties about the process. This invitation is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This invitation does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service. DoDEA is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to the subsequent Industry Day; all costs associated with attending the respective Industry Day will be solely at the interested party's expense. Submissions will not be returned. Failure to respond to this invitation does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if issued. If an RFP is issued, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website at http://www.fbo.gov. The information provided in this invitation is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. It is the responsibility of interested offerors to monitor FedBizOpps for additional information pertaining to this effort. Industry Day in the United Kingdom will be held on 28 October 2019 in Lakenheath. Industry Day in Germany will be conducted on 30 October 2019 in Wiesbaden. Additional information and/or changes will be provided prior to Industry Day. While not mandatory, DoDEA highly recommends setting up a 10-20 minute private meeting with your company and the DoDEA officials on these dates. This meeting will give companies a chance to discuss how DoDEA can improve our processes and answer any questions you may have. At this time, we can also address questions and/or concerns you may have with SAM and NCage registration processes.
