The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, specifically the Office of State Procurement Services and the Department of Public Safety Major Crimes Unit 5, is soliciting quotations for eighteen (18) Haenni Wheel Load Scale WL 101 units in the first year, with potential for twelve (12) additional units in the second year. The procurement is for a mechanical wheel load scale certified to OIML R76 class 4 and NIST H44 standards, designed for measuring wheel and axle loads of vehicles with pneumatic tires. The scale features a platform height of 17mm, operates in temperatures from -20C to +60C, and has an IP65 water protection rating.

The initial contract period will run from February 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026, with four optional one-year extension periods possible through January 31, 2030. The State will make a single award based on best value criteria and reserves the right to negotiate additional unit purchases at the bid price for six months after the award.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Vendors must submit pricing through the State's e-Procurement system (AdvantageME/VSS), with orders over $5,000 processed via Delivery Orders and orders under $5,000 eligible for P-Card payment. The procurement follows FOB-Destination shipping terms, requiring all pricing to include delivery charges to the Maine State Police-Traffic Safety in Augusta. There is no guaranteed award associated with this bid opportunity, and the State intends to evaluate proposals comprehensively. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement involves a substantial quantity of eighteen units in the first year, with potential for twelve additional units in the second year. The total contract value could potentially range from $50,000 to $100,000, depending on the unit pricing of the Haenni Wheel Load Scale WL 101. Vendors will need to provide detailed pricing, manufacturer information, and delivery timeframes as part of their quotation.
