M4019 Grounds Maintenance Equipment

The State of New Jersey, through its Division of Purchase and Property, has awarded a cooperative purchasing contract (NATCOOP/NJCOOP 26-FLEET-115181) to Bobcat Company. The contract, effective from August 21, 2025, to January 31, 2029, with potential extensions, covers grounds maintenance equipment and related accessories. Leveraging a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreement (Master Agreement #112624-CEC), the contract enables New Jersey state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, emergency services, and higher education institutions to procure equipment at a 24% discount from Bobcat's suggested price list.

The contract's scope encompasses lawn and garden equipment, irrigation systems, maintenance tools, commercial turf products, utility vehicles, compact tractors, and construction equipment with associated attachments. Bobcat will provide these items through up to 15 authorized dealers/distributors, with an estimated annual transaction value of approximately $160 million. The contract includes provisions for equipment delivery, warranties, and a 1% Procurement Efficiency Program Fee payable quarterly to Periscope. Purchasing entities are required to select the most advantageous contract terms based on their specific operational needs, with potential for comprehensive equipment procurement across multiple maintenance and utility domains.
