Delivery Truck

The State of Florida, through the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD), is procuring a new 13-foot delivery truck with a single axle and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 14,000 lbs. The truck will be used for food service delivery to residents at the Tacachale facility in Gainesville, Florida. The procurement is being conducted through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) process, with bids due by March 17, 2023, at 2:00 PM EST, and the anticipated award date of March 23, 2023. The contract term will be from the date of execution until June 30, 2023, with no renewal options. Bidders must provide pricing on the Cost Information Sheet and complete several mandatory certifications. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest cost, and the agency reserves the right to reject any and all bids.

There are no set-asides or preferences identified in the ITB, and the contract is not limited to any specific types of organizations. The ITB does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The ITB does not specify a budget range or award value, but payment will be made by state government warrant upon completion of the project.
