The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services is seeking bids for loader mounted wing posts through Bid No. 194-25, specifically targeting the retrofit of two Caterpillar 926M All-Wheel Drive Articulated Wheel Loaders (one 2016 and one 2017 model year). The procurement involves permanently attaching two hydraulic plow wing towers to the right side of the loader's front articulating frame, with precise requirements for hydraulic control and configuration. Key deliverables include two complete sets of parts manuals, compliance with safety data sheet requirements, and wing towers matching the loaders' factory color. The bid solicitation was distributed on May 6, 2025, with the final day for questions set for May 14, 2025, and the bid due date established as May 21, 2025, at 9:00 AM Eastern Time. Technical specifications mandate specific hydraulic line configurations, quick coupler specifications, and a shelving height capability of at least 55 inches. The contract includes a comprehensive one-year warranty covering 100% of parts, shipping, labor, travel, lodging, and associated expenses. The bid does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Delivery will be to the Bureau of Mechanical Services in Concord, NH, and is considered a one-time order. Payment terms are net 30 days following delivery, inspection, and acceptance, with invoices to be submitted electronically. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement emphasizes environmentally friendly product considerations. The solicitation targets vendors capable of providing wing posts that can integrate seamlessly with the existing Caterpillar loader infrastructure and hydraulic systems. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive warranty and technical specifications suggest a potentially substantial investment in specialized equipment modification. Vendors must demonstrate technical capability to meet the precise engineering and compatibility requirements for these loader wing post retrofits.
