Contract: model year 2025 truck CAB and chassis

The State of New Hampshire, through its Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, is seeking to procure Model Year 2025 Truck Cab and Chassis vehicles for highway maintenance operations. The solicitation (Bid #3012-25) covers multiple vehicle configurations, specifically requesting twenty-five trucks across four weight classes: five 36,000# GVWR dual wheel trucks, fifteen 36,000# GVWR single wheel trucks, two 60,000# GVWR dual wheel trucks, and three 60,000# GVWR single wheel trucks. Each vehicle must meet strict technical specifications, including specific engine options (Cummins L9, PACCAR PX-9, International A26, and others), Allison automatic transmissions, and be painted in clear coat Omaha Orange. The bid response is due on March 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with vendor questions required by March 3, 2025. The contract will be awarded to the vendor meeting all criteria and providing the lowest cost, with an initial term through December 31, 2025, and potential two-year extension options. Comprehensive warranty requirements include seven-year/150,000-mile coverage for engine and chassis components, and vendors must provide web-based access to service manuals and technical specifications for eight NHDOT vehicle maintenance locations.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The estimated total procurement value is not directly stated, but given the specification of twenty-five trucks across different weight classes and configurations, with potential add-on options like heated windshields, backup cameras, and various engine upgrades, the total contract value could potentially range from $7.5 million to $10 million. Delivery requirements mandate that vehicles must be fulfilled within 120 days of order placement, with vendors required to indicate specific delivery timeframes for each configuration. Payment terms are net 30 days, processable via ACH or procurement card. The trucks are specifically designed for highway maintenance operations, including plowing and sanding, which suggests they will be integrated into the existing New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) fleet. While no incumbent vendors are listed, the detailed specifications indicate a sophisticated procurement process with extensive technical requirements that suggest familiarity with previous vehicle procurements and maintenance needs.
