7149. 6, Tires, Purchase, Mounting, Balancing and Alignment

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is seeking a contractor for tire procurement, mounting, balancing, and alignment services through a competitive bidding process. The contract opportunity, identified by the State Local Contract Opportunity ID 67ed355d8c126c53d608ddc4, specifically requires a service provider capable of handling tire-related maintenance for MCPS vehicle fleet. The procurement emphasizes a preference for a contractor located within 25 miles of Rockville, Maryland, to facilitate efficient service delivery. Key deliverables include tire purchasing, mounting, balancing, alignment, repair, rotation, and comprehensive vehicle tire inspection services. The solicitation was posted on March 31, 2025, with proposals due by April 15, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline. Contractors must demonstrate capability to receive MCPS vehicles at their service facility and complete all required tire maintenance and replacement tasks efficiently and professionally.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified tire service providers meeting the geographical and service capability requirements. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. The contract does not specify a precise budget range or potential award value, which suggests potential vendors should be prepared to submit competitive pricing proposals based on their service capabilities. The geographical constraint of being within 25 miles of Rockville represents a notable qualification criterion that could limit potential bidders. The procurement appears structured to ensure MCPS has reliable, proximate tire service capabilities that can handle the ongoing maintenance needs of their vehicle fleet with minimal logistical complications.
