This is a Bid Summary and Award document from the State of New Hampshire Division of Procurement Support Services, Bureau of Purchase Property, for a Wheeled Loader procurement (RQ #5-27) managed by the Central Facilities Bureau. The solicitation sought sealed bids for a new Caterpillar 926 Wheel Loader or equivalent, with bids closing on July 24, 2026 at 11:00 AM. The procurement includes both a purchase option and a five-year lease option for qualified bidders. Three solicitations were received from sourced vendors, with one bidder deemed non-responsive due to offering a used 2017 model with 2,527 hours rather than new equipment as specified.

The award was made to Milton CAT for a new Caterpillar 926 Wheel Loader at a unit cost of $204,900.00 for purchase or $3,858.00 monthly ($45,153.00 annually, totaling $232,900.00 over the five-year lease term). Alta Equipment was identified as an alternative bidder offering a new JCB 427 Wheel Loader at the same purchase price. Swipe Resources was marked non-compliant for bidding on used equipment. Payment methods include P-card or ACH, with delivery FOB, and the recommended vendor was confirmed to not be debarred or suspended through Sam.gov verification. A Dun & Bradstreet report was obtained on file for the awarded vendor.
