This is a brand-name-only solicitation — only Diamond Mowers equipment qualifies.

Equipment is limited to new, current-production models not exceeding $170,000 net cost per unit and explicitly excludes lawn care, golf and turf, industrial equipment, and utility and all-terrain vehicles.

The state reserves the right to award on an all-or-none basis to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the greatest discount off the manufacturer's current published price list. No award will be made on any line item offering zero percent discount.

All goods must be delivered F.O.B. Destination with transportation charges prepaid by the contractor. Pre-delivery servicing is required, including engine tuning, battery charging, tire inflation, lubrication, and cooling-system servicing. Replacement parts must be delivered within three working days. Equipment carries the manufacturer's standard warranty with free replacement of defective parts and transportation costs covered by the contractor.

The initial contract term is 12 months, with options to renew for two additional 12-month periods for a maximum of 36 months. Pricing must remain firm for a minimum of 30 days after submission and for the entire contractual period if accepted. Contractors must submit quarterly usage reports and pay a one percent administrative fee on net sales. Written inquiries are due September 29, 2026, with responses by October 6, 2026. Bidders must submit the manufacturer's current price list and GSA schedule, if applicable, with bids or within 10 business days of request.
