Cab & Chassis, Various Configurations, 10K to 19. 5K

The State of Maine, through the Department of Administrative and Financial Services' Office of State Procurement Services, is seeking competitive quotations for Cab & Chassis vehicles in various configurations ranging from 10,000 to 19,500 pounds via RFQ #17D 250221-183. The procurement aims to establish a Master Agreement for approximately sixteen (16) units with multiple potential vendor awards, primarily serving the Maine Department of Transportation but also accessible to other state departments. Vendors must submit detailed pricing for specific vehicle configurations (F-1, F-3, F-4, F-11, F-15, F-16, F-19, and F-20) including color options and delivery specifications. The initial contract period will run from March 17, 2025, to March 31, 2026, with potential extensions through March 31, 2030. Quotation submissions are due by March 6, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. local time, with pricing requirements mandating FOB-Destination delivery and guaranteed pricing for the specific model year bid. Vendors must provide comprehensive vehicle details including year, make, model, and delivery timeframes measured in days after receipt of order.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the solicitation indicates that Maine municipalities, political subdivisions, and school districts may access contract pricing, though the state will not be responsible for their individual orders. The state reserves the right to negotiate additional unit purchases at the bid price for six months post-award and anticipates making multiple vendor awards. Although no specific budget range was provided, the procurement suggests flexibility in vendor participation, as bidders are not required to bid on all requested items to be considered. The competitive solicitation appears open to various vehicle manufacturers and distributors capable of meeting the specified cab and chassis configurations and performance requirements. The state's approach indicates a desire to establish a comprehensive, multi-vendor agreement that provides flexibility in procurement and ensures competitive pricing across different vehicle specifications and configurations.
