About this opportunity

The City of Orlando's Procurement and Contracts Division is seeking bids for an Invitation for Bid (IFB25-0219) to purchase automotive batteries for the City's Fleet Management Division. The procurement covers 37 different battery types, including various BCI Group Sizes, AC DELCO, Motorcraft, and Trojan batteries, with quantities ranging from 4 to 400 units per battery type. Qualified bidders must submit electronic responses through the City's e-Procurement Portal, with paper responses considered non-responsive. The bid was initially issued on August 11, 2025, with a cut-off date for questions on September 2, 2025, and bids due on October 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The City intends to award a contract with a three-year initial term, potentially extending to five years with two additional twelve-month renewals. Evaluation criteria include the lowest total bid, with the City reserving the right to award on a per-group or per-item basis. Bidders must provide firm, F.O.B. Destination pricing, including unit prices for specified batteries and percentage markup options for non-specified batteries and related accessories.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the solicitation includes requirements for local service facilities and recycled content information. Bidders must comply with various certifications and forms as part of their submission. The procurement does not specify incumbent vendors or existing contract holders. Although a precise award value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the battery procurement across 37 different types suggests a potentially significant contract value. The City's approach allows for flexible pricing through unit prices and percentage markups, which could accommodate various vendor capabilities. Interested bidders must demonstrate the ability to supply a wide range of automotive batteries, meet delivery requirements, and provide competitive pricing. The multi-year contract structure indicates the City's intent to establish a long-term relationship with a reliable battery supplier for its fleet management needs.
