DNR: New Tracks Tucker Terra 200" Snow with Rods

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is soliciting formal bids for four new Tucker Terra 200" Snow tracks with rods, or a DNR-approved equal, with written questions due October 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT and bids due November 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT through the SWIFT Supplier Portal. The solicitation establishes no formal set-aside. The solicitation content document, however, assigns a 12% preference in points to State-certified targeted group, economically disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses, and a 6% preference to DEED and DHS eligible providers.

The track units must fit Tucker Terra 2000 groomers and must be new, fully assembled, and current advertised production models. Bidders must be an Original Manufacturer or an Authorized Dealer. Dealers must supply either an OEM letter on manufacturer letterhead or proof of listing on the OEM's authorized dealer website. Responses must identify the year, make, and model offered, the price per track, delivery timeframe in calendar days after receipt of order, warranty coverage and length, repair timeframe, and any prompt-pay discounts. Products may not contain triclosan, coal tar, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and intentionally added PFAS products are prohibited under Amara's Law effective January 1, 2025. Responders must submit non-collusion certification and any organizational conflict of interest disclosures.

Delivery goes to the DNR MR R2 NE Region office at 1201 E Highway 2, Grand Rapids, Minnesota, by December 11, 2026, by ground shipping. Prices are FOB Destination with freight included, and payment terms are Net 30.

The estimated value is $20,000 to $37,000 for one year, which the State states is neither a minimum nor a maximum commitment. The contract term runs from November 3, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with an option to extend for up to one additional year in increments the State determines. Bid prices must remain firm for 180 days following submission.
