Vehicles, Class 1 – 8 (Statewide)

The New York State Vehicles, Class 1-8 (Statewide) Contract provides a comprehensive procurement mechanism for state agencies and political subdivisions to acquire new vehicles ranging from Class 1 through Class 8. This vehicle acquisition platform enables the purchase or lease of single Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) vehicles, chassis, bodies, complete vehicles, and associated aftermarket components. Authorized users can procure vehicles through a competitive mini-bid process executed via the NYS Vehicle Marketplace, offering flexibility and strategic sourcing for governmental transportation needs across diverse vehicle types and specifications.

The contract was awarded on November 14, 2019, with a ten-year performance period extending through November 13, 2029. Multiple prime contractors were selected, including AlbanyT LLC (Northway Toyota), Beam Mack Sales & Service, Bob Johnson Ford, and numerous other dealerships and vehicle suppliers across New York State. The vehicle procurement mechanism covers the entire state and is available to all state agencies, political subdivisions, public authorities, public school and fire districts, and certain nonprofit organizations. The contract type is classified as a Commodity contract, with no specific Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) participation goals.

The contract includes multiple individual indefinite delivery vehicles (IDVs) with various prime contractors, each providing a streamlined approach to vehicle acquisition. Notable IDVs include contracts with SB BJA 1675 LLC (Bob Johnson Ford), C. Basil Ford, Inc., Otis Ford, Inc., and Van Bortel Ford Inc., among others. While specific individual task order values were not consistently detailed, some IDVs, such as those with Burr Truck & Trailer Sales Inc. and Paramus Ford Inc., indicated cumulative contract values of $6 million. The mini-bid process allows authorized users to develop specific vehicle requirements, distribute bid requests to eligible dealers, and award purchases to the lowest-priced responsive bidder, creating a flexible and competitive procurement environment for New York governmental entities.
