ATV's

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services (OSPS), acting on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, has issued a Request for Quotations (RFQ) to procure three (3) new 4-wheel drive ATVs for the Forest Protection Division. The ATVs must meet specific requirements for engine size, transmission, drive train, brakes, suspension, dimensions, and other features. Quotations are due by October 22, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. local time. The State reserves the right to negotiate the purchase of additional units at the bid price for six months after the award. Delivery is required immediately, and the delivery date may be a factor in the award decision. Pricing must be provided on a "Free on Board (FOB) - Destination" basis, meaning shipping charges, if any, are to be included in the quoted price. The State is exempt from paying federal, state, and local taxes. There is no guaranteed award associated with this RFQ, and the State reserves the right to make a single award or multiple awards, whichever is in the best interest of the State.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The document does not indicate any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, and it does not mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ also does not provide any information about possible award values or budget ranges.
