The Grand Junction Housing Authority (GJHA) is seeking competitive bids for the procurement of one new Dodge RAM ProMaster 2500 Cargo Van through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) released on October 1, 2025. The solicitation, specific to Mesa County, Colorado, aims to acquire a high-quality fleet asset that meets precise operational requirements. The desired vehicle must feature a 136 or 159 wheel base, V6 engine, automatic transmission, gasoline power, high roof, white exterior, black interior, bucket seats, cargo partition, Class IV receiver hitch, cargo area lighting, and a full-size spare tire. Electronic bids are to be submitted through BidnetDirect.com by October 23, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. MST, with a delivery deadline of December 19, 2025. GJHA will evaluate bids based on multiple factors including product quality, specification compliance, warranty, delivery schedule, and vendor support, with a focus on selecting the most responsible bidder that best meets the organization's needs.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations. The vehicle must comply with current State of Colorado regulations and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including emissions requirements. The solicitation emphasizes that bidders are required to submit detailed specification sheets and descriptive brochures, and the van must be factory-new, unused, and in standard configuration. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is funded through GJHA's board-approved budget. The organization reserves the right to reject any or all offers, indicating flexibility in the procurement process. Potential vendors should note that the award will be determined by the bid that most comprehensively meets GJHA's operational needs, with price being an important but not sole determining factor in the selection process.
