This document is a bid workbook for the State of Tennessee's Statewide Vehicle Contract (SWC 209), specifically focusing on Nissan vehicles for the Event #32110-13710. The invitation to bid seeks procurement of 2026 model year fleet vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, trucks, and vans, with bids due by 1:00 PM CT on September 24, 2025, through the Edison procurement system. The state intends to award up to four separate contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible dealers per manufacturer, with the contract effective from September 15, 2025, for 33 months and potentially extendable up to 180 days. The bid requires comprehensive pricing information for various Nissan models, including the Versa, Sentra, Altima, Leaf, Kicks, Ariya, Rogue, Murano, Pathfinder, Armada, and Frontier, with bidders required to submit both Draft/MSRP and state-discounted fleet pricing.

The pricing structure involves a one-year fixed fleet pricing model, with bidders required to provide detailed vehicle specifications, including engine size, wheel base, and cab type for trucks. The state estimates total purchases during the contract term at $70 million and will evaluate bids based on the dealer's one-year fixed fleet pricing per manufacturer. Authorized users include Tennessee state governmental entities, local governmental agencies, the University of Tennessee system, Tennessee Board of Regents system, and specific nonprofit institutions. Contractors must have a minimum of five years of verified fleet purchase experience and the ability to perform service and maintenance on vehicles. While no specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes non-discrimination and requires dealers to provide manufacturer certification letters and sales tax registration documentation.
