This is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) document issued by the City and County of San Francisco Office of Contract Administration (OCA) for the upfitting of emergency vehicles. The solicitation represents a full and open competition opportunity seeking qualified suppliers to submit bids for emergency vehicle upfitting services. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. via phone bridge (877) 411-9748, Access Code: 5546256. The original IFB was dated September 24, 2026, with Bid Addendum No. 1 issued on September 29, 2026, replacing the original document. Bidders are responsible for ensuring their submissions reflect all solicitation addenda issued prior to the bid due date. The City emphasizes that participation in the pre-bid meeting is strongly recommended for specification review and clarification.

The solicitation is structured as a full and open competition opportunity, encouraging vendors to propose alternate solutions, models, designs, and technologies if they identify baseline specifications that may create barriers to competition. Vendors are instructed to alert the bid administrator promptly if they observe any specifications perceived as restrictive to comparable alternatives. The City notes that baseline specifications listed for comparison purposes only may resemble specific models but are not exclusive requirements. This approach allows qualified suppliers flexibility in their technical proposals while meeting the City's core requirements for emergency vehicle upfitting services.
