CONTRACT: 2026 Model Year Vehicles

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, is seeking bids for a Statewide Contract (Bid #3062-26) to procure 2026 Model Year Vehicles for state agencies and eligible political subdivisions. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of vehicle types, including passenger vehicles (sedans in large, midsize, compact, and subcompact categories), sport utility/crossover vehicles, vans, cargo vans, trucks, pickups, and specialized enforcement vehicles. The contract will be effective from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with potential extensions up to two additional years. Vendors must meet specific clean fleet fuel economy standards, such as 40 mpg for passenger vehicles under 8,501 lbs, 30 mpg for sport utility vehicles under 8,501 lbs, and 27 mpg for light-duty trucks up to 6,000 lbs. The bid is due on September 3, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with the state intending to award up to two manufacturers per line item based on the lowest cost, while adhering to Executive Order 2016-03's environmental requirements.

The solicitation allows participation by a broad range of entities, including political subdivisions, counties, cities, towns, school districts, and nonprofit agencies. Vendors must provide comprehensive warranties, submit quarterly usage reports, and comply with environmentally friendly product specifications. Pricing must remain firm for the entire contract period and be quoted in US dollars, including delivery costs. The state reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may modify the contract by adding or deleting items. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive vehicle procurement suggests a significant potential contract value across multiple vehicle categories. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the documentation, and no incumbent vendors were identified. Interested bidders should carefully review the complete bid documentation, particularly the fuel efficiency requirements and warranty expectations, to ensure full compliance with the state's procurement specifications.
