Cab Chassis Vehicle

The State of South Dakota Department of Transportation (SD DOT) has initiated a procurement opportunity for a single cab chassis vehicle to be delivered to Aspen Equipment in Omaha, Nebraska. Specifically, the contract calls for a 1-ton 4x4 crew cab vehicle with precise technical specifications, including a minimum 335 horsepower engine, automatic transmission, locking rear axle, backup camera, power door locks, air conditioning, and cruise control. The procurement is associated with Harding County and was posted on December 1, 2023, with a submission deadline of December 19, 2023. The vehicle must meet the minimum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 11,400 pounds and will be delivered FOB Destination. While the specification documents provide detailed technical requirements for the truck, they do not outline specific evaluation criteria beyond the technical specifications.

The procurement documents do not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors are identified, and the contract appears to be a straightforward purchase of a single vehicle without complex integration requirements. The documents do not specify a precise budget range or award value for the vehicle. Potential vendors interested in this opportunity should reference the South Dakota Vendor Manual, which outlines general procurement policies and procedures, including the annual $50 vendor registration fee. Interested suppliers will need to carefully review the technical specifications to ensure complete compliance with the SD DOT's requirements for this cab chassis vehicle procurement.
