2026 Model Year SUV's Buick or equivalent

The Iowa Department of Administrative Services Fleet Services is seeking bids for 2026 Model Year Buick SUVs or equivalent vehicles through a Request for Bids (RFB) issued on September 16, 2025, with responses due by September 26, 2025. The procurement involves three specific SUV types: a small 4-door front-wheel drive SUV, a small 4-door all-wheel drive or 4x4 SUV, and a mid-size 4-door all-wheel drive or 4x4 SUV, with one unit requested for each vehicle type. Bidders must have a physical dealership location within Iowa and meet detailed vehicle specifications outlined in accompanying worksheets. The contract will be effective from October 15, 2025, to September 30, 2025, with the state reserving the option to renew for up to three annual extensions. Key requirements include providing quarterly sales reports in Microsoft Excel format and complying with various terms and conditions related to specifications, federal requirements, and insurance.

Bidders must be prepared to pay an administrative fee of $100 on all sales made under the contract, to be submitted quarterly. The contract will replace the existing Master Agreement 24055 for Buick SUVs currently held by KIA of GYDNT LLC. Payment terms are set at 0% 0, Net 60, meaning the state will have 60 days to pay invoices after receipt. The resulting contract will be available to all State Agencies, potentially expanding the opportunity for sales beyond the initial procurement. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the documentation, vendors must meet the specified dealership and vehicle specification criteria. The solicitation does not provide a specific budget range or award value, but it represents a strategic procurement for updating the state's vehicle fleet with new 2026 Model Year SUVs.
