005-RFB-3103-2027 COV 1-4 - Command Operations Vehicle Specifications Worksheet.xlsx

This is a Vehicle Specification Worksheet for a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Fleet Services for MY27 Command Operations Vehicles based on the Jeep Grand Wagoneer platform. The procurement encompasses four vehicle categories: COV 1 (Grand Wagoneer 4x2 Standard Wheelbase), COV 2 (Grand Wagoneer 4x2 Extended Wheelbase), COV 3 (Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Standard Wheelbase), and COV 4 (Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Extended Wheelbase). All vehicles are configured with identical core specifications including a 3.0L I-6 Hurricane Twin-Turbo engine with 8-speed automatic transmission, eight-passenger seating upholstered in premium leather across three rows, integrated tactical interior packages designed for law enforcement and emergency response, professional Whelen warning and utility lighting systems with beacon lights and grille lights, specialized cargo and secure weapon storage, Uconnect 5 NAV with 10.1-inch touchscreen and GPS navigation, heavy-duty suspension with Quadra-lift air suspension and automatic rear load leveling, and heavy-duty vinyl flooring. Bids were due October 9, 2026, with dealers required to submit one electronic copy of the completed Vehicle Specification Worksheets in Excel format and one electronic copy of the RFB Criteria document.

Dealers must enter base vehicle pricing in the yellow-highlighted field for each vehicle specification, which constitutes the final price submission per category. Optional pricing may be submitted for engine block heaters (as a deduct cost if deleted from base specifications), four additional keys with fobs, and express order packages. Dealers may also offer percentage discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for options valued at $3,000 or less, though engine and powertrain options are excluded unless approved by DAS. Delivery pricing must be quoted on a per-mile basis for delivery anywhere in the State of Iowa, with a separate baseline delivery cost to DAS in Des Moines. The specification permits MY26 model year vehicles if dealers can provide MY27 pricing and confirm that the 2027 model will be available for order no later than December 1, 2026. Award determination will not distinguish between model year pricing; selection is based solely on the lowest price bid per vehicle category. Single vehicle pricing applies to all vehicle specifications in this category group.
