The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) is seeking to procure a used Critical Incident Recreational Vehicle (RV) for the Santee Wateree Mental Health Center through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation numbered 5400019319. The RV must be a 2010 model or newer, with fewer than 30,000 miles, measuring between 24-29 feet in length, and equipped with a minimum 305 horsepower gas engine and automatic transmission. Specific requirements include a built-in generator, retractable awning, bathroom facilities, functional climate control, electrical systems capable of supporting telepsychiatry equipment and multiple computers, a minimum 64 square foot treatment room, and a back bedroom with a closable door. Bidders must submit sealed bids by February 15, 2020, at 3:00 PM, with questions due by February 8, 2020, at 10:00 AM. The award notification is scheduled for February 22, 2020, with an initial contract period running from February 22, 2020, through June 30, 2020. Delivery must be made to the Spartanburg Mental Health Center within 30 days of purchase order receipt, and the state reserves the right to conduct a third-party mechanical inspection before acceptance.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. Bidders must certify compliance with drug-free workplace requirements, debarment status, independent price determination, and ethics regulations. The state may apply South Carolina and U.S. end-product preferences, and the award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement involves a fixed unit price for the RV, with no sales or use taxes included in the bid amount. The delivery location is the SCDMH Vehicle Management Office at 7901 Farrow Road, Columbia, South Carolina, though the RV will ultimately be transferred to the Spartanburg Mental Health Center. The contract includes standard payment terms with potential discounts for prompt payment, termination for convenience provisions, and fixed pricing requirements for the duration of the contract term. The manufacturer's standard written warranty is required upon delivery of the vehicle.
