Automotive Parts and Repair for Light Duty Vehicles

The Arizona Department of Public Safety (ADPS) has awarded contract CTR078104 to ACTIVE TIRE - Ed Whitehead's Tire Pros, a Yuma-based automotive service provider, for light-duty vehicle repair and parts services. The contract, effective from September 15, 2025, to September 15, 2026, establishes a statewide automotive maintenance agreement with a standardized labor rate of $169 per hour for standard services and $146.88 for after-hours and holiday tire-related services.

The procurement is specifically designed to expand geographic coverage for vehicle repairs across Arizona, with an estimated annual contract value of $750,000. Services are limited to tire and automotive maintenance for the department's fleet, with no towing or pickup delivery options included. The contract allows ADPS to leverage multiple suppliers to reduce vehicle downtime and ensure comprehensive maintenance coverage, particularly in remote areas of the state. The agreement was authorized through a Competition Impracticable process, which permitted the addition of 18 statewide automotive service suppliers to support the department's operational requirements.
