Ferry Engine Parts

This Invitation for Bid (IFB) is issued by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Ferry Division to obtain pricing from qualified vendors for the furnishing and delivery of parts needed to repair and rebuild five (5) Caterpillar engines. The requested parts are needed as spare inventory to minimize future downtime. The IFB lists 156 specific parts across two lots that vendors must provide unit and extended pricing for. The contract will be awarded to the responsive bidder offering the lowest overall price that meets the specifications. The IFB includes pricing and delivery requirements, as well as standard terms and conditions. It also requires vendors to provide information on their financial stability, historically underutilized business (HUB) participation, and location of workers. Vendors may offer trade-in allowances for used Caterpillar core parts. The contract will be awarded to a single vendor, but the state reserves the right to make separate awards by lot or cancel the IFB without making an award. Bids are due by April 18, 2024 at 2:00 PM ET.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not specify a possible award value or budget range.
