Dodge Durango Equipment

The state of Arkansas, through the Arkansas State Procurement Office on behalf of the Arkansas State Police (ASP), has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to obtain pricing and a contract for various equipment and accessories for the 2023 Dodge Durango fleet. The requested items include an attendant storage console, dual beverage holder, side-mount computer console, adjustable rear printer mount and housing, security partition, rear cargo barrier, push bumper, pit bar, wing wrap, and light channel. The contract is for a one-year term with up to six one-year renewal options, and the agency requests delivery within 30 business days after ordering. Bids are due on April 19, 2023 by 2:00 PM Central Time, and will be opened via a Microsoft Teams live bid opening. The IFB specifies that award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on an all-or-none basis.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide any information on listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration, or possible award values or budget ranges. The bid response packet focuses on the administrative and logistical requirements for submitting a responsive bid, such as the need to disclose any current or former members of the Arkansas General Assembly, Constitutional Officers, State Board or Commission Members, or State Employees who hold a position of control or 10% or greater ownership interest in the entity bidding on the contract.
