This document is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the New Mexico General Services Department for the purchase of various types of motor vehicles. The IFB is for a statewide contract that will be available for use by state agencies, local public bodies, and certain other entities within New Mexico. The requested vehicles include sedans, light duty trucks, SUVs, and vans in varying quantities. Bids are due by March 8, 2023, and the contract award is anticipated on April 1, 2023. The contract will have an initial term of two years with the option to renew for up to three additional one-year terms.

Pricing for the vehicles will be based on a percentage discount from the manufacturer's suggested retail price. The IFB includes several procurement preferences, such as a 5% preference for resident businesses and a 10% preference for businesses certified as a small business. There is no incumbent contractor, as this is a new statewide contract. Funding for purchases under this contract will come from the budgets of the participating state agencies and local public bodies.
