Mobile Safety Shoe Truck Services

Background
The U.S. Army Contracting Command (ACC) is seeking to identify companies capable of providing Mobile Safety Shoe Truck services for the Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD). These services are essential for ensuring that Department of the Army personnel and contractors have timely access to properly fitted personal protective equipment (PPE) safety footwear that meets occupational safety standards.

The initiative aims to address logistical challenges associated with traditional off-site procurement of safety shoes, enhancing workplace safety and compliance.

Work Details
The contractor will provide Mobile Safety Shoe Truck services, which include:
- A self-contained mobile unit configured as a professional safety footwear fitting and supply center, with adequate space for fitting stations, seating, inventory storage, and customer service.
- Support for scheduled recurring visits (monthly or quarterly) and responsive on-demand visits.
- On-site services including professional foot measurement, style consultation, try-on, fitting verification, and immediate issuance of compliant footwear.
- Ability to process exchanges, warranty claims, and special orders for hard-to-fit sizes or specialty styles.
- Maintenance of sufficient on-board inventory to meet demand without frequent stock-outs and a mechanism for rapid replenishment.
- All supplied footwear must meet ASTM F2413 requirements for impact and compression resistance and other applicable protections.
- Documentation of quality processes for inventory control and compliance labeling must be maintained.

Period of Performance
The contract is expected to have an estimated ordering period of multiple years, subject to availability of funds and actual requirements.

Place of Performance
Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pennsylvania, with potential expansion to additional supported locations within the Northeast region.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must demonstrate capabilities in providing mobile safety footwear services including:
- Description of mobile units available or planned (vehicle type, interior configuration).
- Geographic coverage area with the ability to service Tobyhanna Army Depot on a recurring basis.
- Experience providing similar on-site PPE fitting/supply services to federal or commercial customers.
- Acceptance of Government Purchase Card transactions and invoicing through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on W911PT21P0185, awarded to Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Co for $517,752 (09/10/21–07/31/25). The prior work is described as “SAFETY SHOE MOBILE / ON SITE SAFETY SHOE SUPPORT,” which aligns with the current requirement for mobile safety shoe truck services that provide on-site foot measurement, fitting verification, and immediate issuance of ASTM-compliant footwear with recurring and on-demand visits. This suggests the current effort may be a continuation or follow-on of the same type of mobile PPE footwear support at a government facility.
