High-Tech Driver Evaluation Vehicle

This state and local contracting opportunity is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Finance and Administration Cabinet on behalf of the Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR). The purpose is to procure a new high-tech driver evaluation vehicle to be used for the assessment and training of individuals with disabilities who require adaptive equipment. The vehicle must meet detailed specifications, including a mobility vehicle chassis, Braun conversion components, specialized flooring, tie-downs, evaluator mirrors, and high-tech driving equipment that can be customized to the needs of each individual. Proposals are due by 3:30 PM ET on August 3, 2023, and must be submitted on a firm fixed unit price basis. The contract will be for use solely by the Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, and no shipments will be made without an official delivery order.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There are also no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not provide a specific award value or budget range, but states that the Commonwealth reserves the right to negotiate contract terms with the top-ranked vendor.
