Armored Vehicle Tires

The City of Kingman, Arizona is soliciting quotes for a procurement opportunity involving six (6) 395/85R20 all-terrain tires to be installed on an MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle. This Request for Quotation (RFQ), identified as 2024-QUOTE-067, was issued on January 13, 2025, with quotes due by February 5, 2025, at 5:00 pm Arizona Time. Vendors can submit quotes electronically through the OpenGov procurement portal or directly to Rob Owen, Public Works Director, via email or hand delivery. The primary evaluation criteria will focus on best product quality at the lowest price within the specified delivery time. Potential bidders must maintain current federal, state, and local business licenses, with specific requirements for vendors based in Kingman. The City reserves the right to reject any quote and is conducting this as an Intermediate Purchase requiring an informal competitive process.

The procurement appears to have a preference for Arizona-based manufacturers, with potential tie-breaking determined by lot drawing if multiple equivalent offers are received. There are no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Vendors must complete a New Vendor Application and provide a signed W-9, with optional electronic funds transfer (EFT) payment registration available. While a specific award value is not disclosed, the procurement is structured as a lump sum pricing model that includes applicable Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT). The contract will be awarded to the company offering the most advantageous combination of product quality, price, and delivery timeline. Vendors with a physical business location within Kingman city limits will be required to obtain a local business license, potentially creating a slight advantage for local businesses.
