Dodge auto parts

San Bernardino County's Fleet Management Department is procuring factory-authorized or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Dodge/Mopar auto parts through Invitation to Bid (ITB) VHS126-CFMAI-6326, posted March 3, 2026. The procurement covers nine specific Mopar parts including brake pad kits, brake rotors, antifreeze coolant, fuel and water separator filter kits, fuel filters, oil filters, and front brake components, all identified by specific OEM part numbers with no substitutions permitted. This is a requirements-based contract where actual order quantities will vary based on Fleet Management's operational needs and the unpredictable nature of fleet repairs, with pricing required on a per-unit basis excluding California sales/use tax and Federal excise tax. Bidders must submit pricing for all listed items in Excel format, though the County will consider partial bids at its discretion. Key evaluation criteria include responsiveness and responsibility of the bidder, best value proposition, and consideration of early payment discounts of 30 days or greater; discounts less than 30 days will not be evaluated. The question submission deadline is March 10, 2026 at 10:00 AM, with proposals due March 17, 2026 at 3:00 PM, either electronically via ePro or in sealed hard copy form to the County Fleet Management Department at 210 N. Lena Road, San Bernardino, California 92415. The tentative contract award date is April 2026, with the contract term spanning five years from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031, and payment terms of Net 60 days from acceptance with delivery required within one to two days of purchase order receipt on an FOB County destination basis.

San Bernardino County applies a five percent local vendor preference to bids from vendors whose principal place of business is located within San Bernardino County boundaries; no other set-asides or restrictions on bidder eligibility are specified in the solicitation materials. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The solicitation does not specify a budget range or anticipated award value, as this is a requirements-based contract where actual spending will depend on the County's operational needs over the five-year contract period. Bidders should note that Addendum No. 1, issued March 4, 2026, removed obsolete part number 68093323AB from the requirements while retaining its replacement part 68093323AC on the updated parts list, and all bids must comply with this revision. The County reserves the right to waive specification variations, reject any or all bids, perform pre-award capability surveys, and acquire equivalent products from other sources. Questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to Lisa.Zhu@pur.sbcounty.gov at the San Bernardino County Purchasing Department, 777 East Rialto Avenue, San Bernardino, California 92415, or by phone at 909.387.2060.
