Purchase and Delivery of one (1) New/Unused 2025 Chevrolet Blazer 3LT FWD

The County of Orange District Attorney is seeking competitive bids for the purchase and delivery of one new/unused 2025 Chevrolet Blazer 3LT FWD through a fully electronic solicitation. The procurement is specifically for a vehicle with a V-6 engine, 9-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive, with color options including Summit White, Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, or Sterling Gray Metallic, and a Jet Black Leather interior. Mandatory accessories include a Cargo Package and Interior Protection Package. Bidders must be authorized Chevrolet dealerships with at least five years of vehicle business experience in California and possess all necessary permits and licenses. The solicitation requires electronic bid submission through the County's online bidding system by June 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with the vehicle to be delivered by June 30, 2025, to the District Attorney's office in Santa Ana. The County will evaluate bids based on responsiveness and responsibility, with the ability to verify bidder qualifications and references. Bid prices will remain firm for 180 days after the invitation for bid (IFB) closing date, with a sales tax rate of 9.25%.

The contract opportunity includes provisions for local small business (OCLSB) and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) preferences, potentially creating opportunities for these designated business types. The procurement covers not only the vehicle purchase but also includes document processing, DMV registration fees, California tire fees, and delivery and handling fees. While no incumbent vendor is specified, the contract is structured as a firm-fixed fee arrangement. The solicitation requires comprehensive documentation, including California Form 587 (Nonresident Withholding Allocation Worksheet), Form 590 (Withholding Exemption Certificate), and a standard W-9 form for tax reporting purposes. The procurement covers two jurisdictions: Orange County and San Francisco City, though the delivery is specifically to Santa Ana. While no explicit budget range is provided, the contract appears to be for a single vehicle purchase with associated administrative costs. The County reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, ensuring competitive pricing and quality procurement.
