Chevrolet Equinox Purchase

SUNY Stony Brook University is seeking to procure two Chevrolet Equinox vehicles through a mini-bid process under New York State Office of General Services (OGS) Contract Group 40440 for Vehicles, Class 1-8. The procurement opportunity (Event 23/24-136NB) allows for vehicles to be either from pre-existing inventory or built to specific requirements, with award being made to the lowest price contractor for each method. The vehicles are intended for delivery to the Stony Brook University Police Headquarters as soon as possible, with a formal bid response deadline of April 19, 2024, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Contractors must complete and submit Form B, which details vehicle specifications, pricing, and delivery timeframes according to precise OGS contract guidelines. The procurement process requires contractors to be pre-approved under the existing vehicle marketplace contract and to provide comprehensive vehicle details with their submission. Evaluation will primarily focus on pricing and ability to meet the specified vehicle requirements.

The contract opportunity contains no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, with zero percentage goals listed for minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or disadvantaged businesses. Two previously awarded vendors are noted: LI Proliner and Smithtown Chevrolet, who have been awarded identical or substantially similar contracts within the past five years. The procurement is being conducted under SUNY's discretionary authority pursuant to NYS Education Law #355(5)(a), with a maximum potential award value of $125,000.00. Interested parties must register on the web-based solution powered by Jaggaer to access bid documents and submit proposals. No formal sealed bid process will be conducted, and potential vendors are encouraged to directly contact the agency contact person to discuss the opportunity and specific requirements.
