This is an addendum to a bid solicitation issued by the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, for the procurement of loader backhoes. Addendum #02, dated March 31, 2026, clarifies specifications regarding diagnostic software requirements and pricing structure for the seven loader/backhoe units being solicited under Bid Invitation 117-26. The addendum addresses vendor questions regarding whether two sets of diagnostic software are required per machine or as a single line item for all units, confirming that two complete sets of diagnostic software and hardware packages with ten-year support are required per machine. The bid closing date and time is April 3, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with submissions to be made electronically to NH.Purchasing@DAS.NH.Gov. The deadline for submitting questions and clarifications was March 31, 2026.

The addendum specifies that all diagnostic software and hardware costs must be incorporated into the unit cost on offer sheet 26.2 rather than listed as a separate line item, ensuring vendors account for these expenses within their overall pricing structure. Vendors are responsible for including all associated costs in their unit pricing to facilitate transparent bid evaluation on a total extended cost basis. All changes outlined in the addendum supersede previously submitted documents and must be submitted with the bid. Respondents must provide their business name, address, contact information, and authorized signature as part of their submission. The purchasing agent for this procurement is Lincoln Adams, and vendors can access complete bid documentation and all addendums through the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services purchasing portal.
