In support of its education mission, DoDEA-E operates transportation services for students attending DoD schools in eight host nations. DoDEA-E does not own vehicles used for student transportation, nor does it employ drivers or adult safety or security attendants. Student transportation is obtained by contracts with host nation commercial bus transportation companies. The inherent vulnerabilities of student transportation regarding the threat of terrorist and criminal exploitation make it imperative that DoDEA-E operate an active student transportation security services program that is (a) tailored to identification and assessment, containment and reduction of the risk to student security during daily transportation to and from school and home; and (b) that puts in place structure and procedures to respond to and manage en-route security emergencies when they occur.
It is the Government’s intention to publicize a solicitation (with explicit access) for the Security Attendants requirements, plus (Bahrain Only) the conducting of route vulnerability assessments, on FedBizOpps on/about 9 March 2018.
To obtain access to the solicitation, once posted, companies must register and obtain a userid and password from www.fbo.gov. In addition, interested vendors must submit a Solicitation Restricted Access Request. This form must be completed and returned by those interested and eligible to submit proposals before access to the restricted documents will be granted. Please ensure the subject line of the e-mail reflects the correct solicitation number and “Solicitation Restricted Access.”
Vendors who replied to the HE1254-18-R-STSSP, Request for Information (RFI) Source Sought, posting/ or e-mail, and submitted a Capability Statement, will be provided a copy of the Solicitation Restricted Access Request.
This acquisition will be conducted using Full and Open Competition Procedures. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 561612- Security Guards and Patrol Services and the applicable small business size standard is $20.5M. The Government intends to make a Best Value Source Selection Decision using the Tradeoff Process in accordance with FAR Part 15. The instructions for proposal submission will be included in the solicitation. This will be an electronic solicitation release; however, DoDEA reserves the right to send hard copies directly to local vendors in Bahrain and Turkey. Except for local vendors, TELEPHONE, E-MAIL AND FAX REQUESTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
With the exception of local vendors, deemed as interested parties, all future information concerning this acquisition, including solicitation amendments, will be distributed through this website.

The website will provide downloading instructions to obtain a copy of the solicitation. All contractors doing business with the Federal Government must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. The website for registration is www.sam.gov.
