Aerial Seeder Bucket

The State of Nevada Purchasing Division is requesting competitive quotes on behalf of the Nevada Department of Forestry Division for an Aerial Seeder Bucket, with quotes due July 17, 2026 through the NevadaEPro electronic procurement system.

A 5% preference applies to Nevada-based businesses certifying that a majority of goods are produced in Nevada. An additional preference is available for service-connected disabled veteran-owned local businesses on contracts exceeding $50,000.

The solicitation specifies that equipment must be new only, with delivery FOB Destination, freight prepaid. The State evaluates quotes on a lowest responsible bidder standard, considering location, article quality, total cost of ownership, conformity to specifications, purposes for the goods, and delivery dates. The contract may be entered into for up to two years with annual extension options thereafter, contingent on conditions specified in the bid solicitation and the Purchasing Division's determination that extension is in the State's best interest. Pricing must be submitted as irrevocable offers covering the contract term and any extensions.

Vendors must be registered in NevadaEPro and submit quotes through that platform, completing pricing tabs (unit cost, discount percentage, and freight), vendor question responses, acceptance of terms and conditions, and supporting documentation. Questions may be submitted to the Purchasing Officer through the Bid Q&A function up to a specified deadline. All validation errors must be resolved before submission. The State requires vendors to comply with OSHA standards, obtain applicable Nevada permits, collect and remit sales taxes, and maintain automobile liability insurance with a combined single limit of $1 million if delivering goods directly to the State. Standard payment terms are 30 to 45 days upon receipt of invoice and agency approval, paid electronically unless undue hardship is demonstrated.
