16CY Diesel Refuse Truck

The District of Columbia is seeking procurement of diesel refuse trucks through a competitive solicitation process identified as the "16CY Diesel Refuse Truck" contract opportunity.

The contract opportunity was initially posted on December 3, 2014, with a proposal submission deadline of December 30, 2014. Potential vendors are expected to provide robust, commercially-viable diesel refuse trucks that meet municipal specifications and operational requirements.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, municipal procurements frequently include provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises or local vendor preferences. The contract's estimated value is not disclosed in the available documentation, though municipal vehicle procurements for refuse trucks typically range from $200,000 to $500,000 per vehicle depending on specific configurations and technological features. The procurement appears to be open to commercial vehicle manufacturers and authorized dealerships with demonstrated capabilities in municipal fleet vehicle sales. Potential respondents would need to demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities, provide detailed product specifications, and likely undergo a rigorous vendor qualification process. Integration with existing municipal fleet management systems and compliance with District of Columbia procurement regulations would be expected standard requirements for successful bidders.
