The County of Orange, District Attorney's Office is seeking competitive bids for the purchase and delivery of one (1) new/unused 2025 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4WD through a fully electronic solicitation. The procurement specifically requires a double cab with a 6-foot bed, featuring an i-FORCE 2.4L 4-cylinder turbo engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. Potential bidders must be authorized Toyota dealerships located within 75 miles of Santa Ana, California, and are required to complete a comprehensive vendor questionnaire covering company profile, references, certifications, and potential conflicts of interest. The bid is due on April 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with vehicle delivery required by June 30, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor qualifications, and pricing, with the County reserving the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The solicitation requires vendors to handle complete DMV registration and includes specific line items for vehicle cost, document processing, DMV registration fees, California tire fee, and delivery/handling fee.

The contract opportunity includes specific set-aside designations and preferences for small businesses, with bidders required to be certified as a Small Business by the California Department of General Services and maintain principal operations within Orange County. Additional preference will be given to Local Small Businesses (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) that meet specific certification requirements. The procurement documents include standard tax forms such as California Form 587 (Nonresident Withholding Allocation Worksheet), Form 590 (Withholding Exemption Certificate), and IRS Form W-9, which vendors must complete as part of their bid submission. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the pricing structure includes a sales tax rate of 9.25%, and bidders will need to provide comprehensive pricing details for the vehicle and associated fees. The contract appears to be a one-time procurement with no indication of multiple awards or ongoing contract provisions.
