Airplane Engine

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, is soliciting quotations on behalf of the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife for a critical procurement of one Teledyne Continental Motors, Inc. Zero Time, IO-520-D40B Factory Remanufactured Aircraft Engine. This Request for Quotations (RFQ #09A 250306-189) is specifically targeting an immediate replacement engine for the Maine Warden Service, with delivery scheduled to 19 Village Street in Greenville, ME. Bidders must submit comprehensive specification documentation, including manufacturer PDF literature, to verify that the proposed engine meets or exceeds all posted requirements. The state will evaluate quotations using a Best Value methodology, considering factors such as goods quality, specification conformity, delivery timeline, and overall state interests. Quotations are due on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, by 4:00 p.m. local time and must be submitted through the state's e-Procurement system (AdvantageME/Vendor Self Service). The procurement requires that bid pricing include shipping terms of "Free on Board (FOB) - Destination" and cover all freight charges for both picking up the old engine and shipping it to its final destination.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational participation noted in the procurement documents. The state reserves the right to negotiate with the successful bidder and may consider the vendor's past performance history during the selection process. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement indicates that the final award will depend on bid results and departmental budget constraints. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and there are no explicit requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology. The procurement approach suggests a straightforward replacement of an aircraft engine, with the lowest-priced bidder likely receiving the award after meeting all specified technical requirements. The state maintains flexibility in the procurement process, emphasizing that there is no guaranteed award and that all purchases will be contingent upon bid results and available departmental funding.
