Marine patrol cruiser upfitting (supply and install)

The State of New Hampshire, specifically the Department of Administrative Services and Department of Safety, is seeking a contractor to perform marine patrol cruiser upfitting services for six Ram 1500 SSV pickup trucks (two 2023 models and four 2024 models). The procurement, identified as Bid 101-25, requires comprehensive supply and installation of specialized law enforcement equipment including emergency lighting systems, Whelen control components, Havis console equipment, radio and radar systems, wiring, push bumpers, headache racks, and drawer systems. Vendors must follow OEM upfitter guidelines, provide all necessary wiring, cabling, parts, and connectors, and ensure complete installation and testing of equipment. The bid submission deadline is March 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with an expected delivery and installation timeframe of 90 business days from contract award. Mandatory qualifications include maintaining $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate comprehensive general liability insurance, and the ability to transport and upfit vehicles according to detailed specifications.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and is open to both in-state and out-of-state vendors. For out-of-state vendors, fully insured transportation between the Department of Safety facility in Concord, NH, and the vendor's location is required. The contract will be non-exclusive, allowing the state to retain multiple contractors for similar services. Payment terms are net 30 days via ACH, with vendors required to quote transportation costs separately from upfit costs. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement involves six vehicles with extensive equipment requirements, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The successful vendor must provide comprehensive installation services, including delivery, uncrating, positioning, making final connections, and thoroughly testing all equipment in strict accordance with manufacturer guidelines and bid specifications.
