2026 Police Interceptor Utility Vehicle

Marion County and the City of Salem are seeking to procure five (5) 2026 K8A AWD Police Interceptor Utility Vehicles through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Fleet Services Division. The procurement requires specific vehicle configurations, including a 119-inch wheel base, Agate Black color, cloth bucket seats with vinyl rear, Black Onyx interior, and a 3.3L Hybrid engine with a modified hybrid transmission. Bids will be received electronically through Equity Hub's Bid Locker until 11:00 a.m. local time on September 2, 2025, with a virtual bid opening scheduled via Zoom. Bidders must register on OregonBuys to download bid documents and submit bids exclusively through the electronic platform. The City intends to award the contract within seven days after the bid closing, with pricing to remain firm and binding for 90 calendar days. Technical inquiries should be directed to Morgan Thatcher, and any substitution requests must be submitted by August 27, 2025. The award will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid meeting the specified requirements.

The procurement opportunity appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with equal employment opportunity, ADA accommodations, and non-discrimination policies. The delivery terms are FOB Delivered to the City of Salem Fleet at 1455 22nd St SE, with full freight allowed and invoice terms of Net 30. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the bid allows for potential additional quantity orders beyond the initial five vehicles. The Zoom bid opening (Meeting ID: 811 0439 3661) provides multiple access options for participants, with Lindsey Bergerson serving as the meeting host. Vendors will need to demonstrate compliance with technical specifications and regulatory requirements to be considered for the contract. The procurement appears to be a straightforward vehicle replacement initiative for the local government's fleet, focusing on standardized law enforcement vehicle specifications.
