All GSA vehicle purchases are governed by program specific Federal Vehicle Standards, which are assimilated by GSA Engineering personnel prior to solicitation publication. The AutoStandards process engages interested parties to provide technical data for vehicles to be potentially offered to the Government in response to these forthcoming solicitations and to assist in development of the Federal Vehicles Standards for the current model year and specific program. As noted above, all prospective models must be established during the AutoStandards process in order to be included in AutoBid once the final solicitation is released.
