Contract: 2027 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES STATEWIDE

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, is requesting bids for the supply and delivery of 2027 model year vehicles on a statewide contract basis under RFB 3146-27, with bids due September 2, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time and vendor questions due August 28, 2026.

The scope encompasses sedans (large, midsize, compact, and subcompact), sport utility vehicles and crossovers (subcompact through large), passenger vans (mini, midsize, and large), cargo vans (mini through large), pickup trucks in multiple configurations and tonnages, cab and chassis dual-wheel trucks, and specialized enforcement and police vehicles. The state accepts gasoline, diesel, flex-fuel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric options. Vehicles must be new with fewer than 200 miles on the odometer, equipped with all standard manufacturer features, and accompanied by two sets of keys, a manufacturer's bill of materials, and comprehensive warranties covering 100 percent of repair or replacement costs for a minimum of one year or the manufacturer's standard warranty period, whichever is greater. Bidders must provide estimated highway MPG and GVWR for each vehicle bid.
