MY27 Command Operations Vehicles (Grand Wagoneer) or equivalent

Iowa DAS Fleet Services is requesting bids from dealerships on MY27 Command Operations Vehicles (Grand Wagoneer) or equivalent, with bids due October 9, 2026.

The procurement covers four vehicle categories: COV 1 (4x2 Standard Wheelbase), COV 2 (4x2 Extended Wheelbase), COV 3 (4x4 Standard Wheelbase), and COV 4 (4x4 Extended Wheelbase). All vehicles feature a 3.0L I-6 Hurricane Twin-Turbo engine with 8-speed automatic transmission, eight-passenger seating with premium leather upholstery, integrated law enforcement and emergency response tactical interior packages, professional warning lighting systems, and specialized cargo and weapon storage.

Dealers must submit pricing for each vehicle category using the provided Excel-based Vehicle Specification Worksheets. Base vehicle pricing is entered in a designated yellow-highlighted field and constitutes the final price submission per category. Supplementary items—engine block heaters, additional key fobs, and express order packages—may be priced optionally. Dealers may offer percentage discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price for options valued at $3,000 or less, excluding engine and powertrain options unless approved by DAS. Delivery pricing must be quoted on a per-mile basis for delivery anywhere in Iowa, with a baseline cost to DAS in Des Moines. MY26 vehicles are permitted if 2027 pricing is provided and the 2027 model is available for order by December 1, 2026. Award determination will not distinguish between 2026 and 2027 model year pricing; selection is based solely on the lowest price submitted per vehicle specification. Bid submissions must include one electronic copy of the completed Vehicle Specification Worksheets in Excel format and one electronic copy of the completed RFB Criteria document.
