2025 1-Ton Flatbed Truck

The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks is seeking bids for a 2025 Ford F-350 XLT Supercab or Equivalent 1-ton flatbed truck with a Pronghorn 8800 SKX Flatbed to be delivered to the Wilson Wildlife Area. The Request for Quote (RFQ) specifies detailed requirements for the truck and flatbed, including engine, drive, transmission, rear axle ratio, packages, exterior and interior features, and flatbed dimensions and accessories. Bids are due by October 17, 2024 at 2:00 PM CDT, with delivery of the completed vehicle required by October 22, 2024. Bidders must obtain a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue and include it with their bid response. The RFQ outlines several mandatory requirements, including the need for bidders to be officially invited to the event at least 24 hours prior to the closing date.

The RFQ indicates that bidders may claim preference under the State's Bidder Preference Program or Disabled Veteran Owned Business Program, if eligible. The resulting contract will be available for political subdivisions to utilize, though the State has no responsibility for payments owed by these entities. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, the RFQ does not specify a budget range or award value, and it reserves the right for the State to accept or reject any or all bids.
