GSA is the mandatory source for federal agencies to purchase any new non-tactical vehicles (41 CFR 101-26.501-1). Other eligible users can also purchase vehicles from GSA.
Standard order process
GSAFleet.gov is the most popular method for vehicle purchasing. Users can configure vehicles, choose equipment and color options, and view side-by-side comparisons of vehicle models. In GSAFleet.gov you can also check your order status, find fuel ratings, choose dealerships, and run reports. Vehicles purchased through GSAFleet.gov are built-to-order with a delivery time frame based on vehicle type, equipment and color choices, and delivery location. Our surcharge for standard order process requisitions is 2%.
You may contact vehicle.buying@gsa.gov or call 1-844-472-1200 for assistance with all of your vehicle purchasing needs.
Urgent vehicle orders
Urgent vehicle orders are for unusual and compelling urgency that requires obtaining vehicle(s) immediately and require justification. Urgent order vehicle prices are higher than the established contract prices. Our surcharge for urgent vehicle orders is set to 5% for all vehicles on the requisition.
Non-standards program (assisted acquisition)
If your agency needs a customized or unique vehicle that is not available in GSAFleet.gov, you can use our engineering services to build a custom solution. We can help:
- Develop customized specifications for any vehicle and application requirement.
- Select proper vehicles for the specific application.
- Select proper vehicle weight ratings and payloads.
- Select proper engines, transmissions, axles, frames, and electrical systems.
If your agency requires customized vehicle(s), contact us in the early planning stages. We can simplify the technical aspects of your agency requirements and the procurement process. The GSA surcharge for customized vehicles is set to 5% for all vehicles on a requisition.
MAS self-service acquisition
Agencies may procure vehicles directly from our Multiple Award Schedule Solicitation 47QSMD20R0001, scroll down to the attachments section, and select the Transportation and Logistics Services Category.. Agencies must follow the ordering procedures established by GSA and found at subpart 538.71and their agency policies. This option does not include the benefit of a dedicated vehicle engineering and contracting team with automotive expertise. Go to GSA eLibrary for a list of MAS suppliers. Agencies that choose to use MAS under a self-service model will leverage their own contracting and engineering expertise to develop requirements and place orders directly with the MAS vendors.
Waivers to purchase outside of GSA
Per 41 CFR 101-26.501-1, GSA is the mandatory source for the procurement of all new non-tactical vehicles. Under certain circumstances, we may grant a waiver to allow an agency to purchase through an alternate source. The Agency HQ Fleet Manager must email GSA a waiver request.
