This Request for Quotations (RFQ) from the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry, seeks to procure a single 8.5ft x 20ft enclosed aluminum trailer. The specifications call for an all-aluminum trailer in pewter or white color, featuring a seamless roof, roof vents, LED ceiling light, rear ramp door, side access door, waterproof interior floor, tie-down systems, aluminum wheels, radial tires, and a spare tire. Delivery is required to Sebago Lake State Park in Casco, Maine, with responses due by March 11, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. local time through the AdvantageME/Vendor Self Service system.

The procurement will be evaluated on a Best Value basis, considering quality, conformity to specifications, delivery timing, and price. No specific budget range is provided, but vendors must include all associated costs in their unit pricing. While the primary procurement is for one unit, additional units may be negotiated at the same bid price within six months of the award. There are no set-aside designations, and the State reserves the right to reject the lowest bidder based on documented poor performance history within the past five years. No Best and Final Offers will be requested, requiring vendors to submit their most competitive pricing initially.
