No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor requirements are noted in this procurement opportunity. Payment must be made at the time of sale by money order or bank check payable to the Needham Public Schools, with full payment required within seven calendar days of award notification; credit cards and personal checks are not accepted. The Needham Public Schools reserves the right to reject any or all bids in whole or in part if doing so serves the best interests of the School Department, and the listing is subject to change as some items may be disposed of internally to Town of Needham government offices and thus may not be available for public sale. Detailed vehicle specifications and features are available for review prior to the auction at the Office of the Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations.
