Cargo Van Purchase

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Department of Government Operations' Fleet Operations division, is conducting an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to procure one cargo van. The solicitation was posted on March 31, 2026, with bids due by April 7, 2026. Bidders must submit detailed specifications and drawings for their proposed vehicle and cannot submit generic statements claiming compliance with bid requirements. The cargo van must be model year 2025 or newer, feature a high roof with 170-inch wheelbase, four-cylinder diesel engine with high output, all-wheel-drive drivetrain, white exterior color, and comprehensive interior features including electrically adjustable heated seats with lumbar support, dual-control climate systems, blind spot assistance, lane-keeping assist, pre-collision assist, back-up camera, and park assist. The vehicle must be delivered complete, assembled, and ready for operation to 4209 South 2700 West, Taylorsville, Utah 84129, with all costs including labor, lead time, delivery, licensing, and registration fees to be included in the all-inclusive pricing. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, provide proof of insurance before contract commencement, and ensure all warranty work is performable in Utah. The State will award the contract to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor, with evaluation based on price and adherence to all specified requirements and terms and conditions.

The procurement documents do not indicate set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond. The specifications reference Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Cargo Vans as the current vehicle in use and baseline example, though any cargo van meeting minimum requirements will be considered acceptable, indicating no incumbent vendor restriction. Vendors must certify compliance with Utah Code Annotated 63G-6a and Administrative Code R33, confirm they are not engaged in economic boycotts or boycotts of the State of Israel, and confirm they are not providing forced labor products or utilizing restricted foreign entities. Payment will be made on net 30 terms following purchase order issuance, with no prepayments accepted and invoicing occurring upon delivery. The procurement documents do not provide an explicit budget range or award value, though pricing must be submitted with each bid and all pricing information is classified as public and cannot be protected as confidential. All questions must be submitted through the U3P system prior to the specified question and answer period closure date, and vendors are responsible for reviewing all addendums issued prior to the submission deadline.
