Purchase two (2) Skandic Snowmobiles

The State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Parks and Recreation Division, is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) to procure two SkiDoo Skandic 900 ACE SWT snowmobiles, model year 2018 or newer, with delivery to Porcupine Mountain Wilderness State Park in Ontonagon, Michigan. Bidders must be factory-authorized franchised dealers capable of identifying nearby service locations for unit maintenance and delivery. All pricing must include four specified equipment options: front bumper, rear bumper, 2-inch rear hitch, and 2-inch drawbar, along with delivery to the designated location. Each unit must include a one-year manufacturer's written warranty and sealed owner's manuals in waterproof containers, with third-party transferred warranties explicitly not acceptable. Bidders must submit completed RFQ documents with pricing entered in both the RFQ document and the SIGMA VSS online system, with failure to do so resulting in bid disqualification. The bid submission deadline is August 23, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, with questions required to be submitted via email to Solicitation Manager Dorene Sandoval no later than August 15, 2018, at 3:00 p.m., and responses posted by August 17, 2018. Contractors are required to provide four business days' advance notice before delivery.

The RFQ does not identify any specific set-aside designations, small business restrictions, or disadvantaged enterprise requirements applicable to this procurement opportunity. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the solicitation materials provided. The State reserves the right to limit or delete optional equipment if funding constraints apply, and payment will be made upon DNR acceptance of the equipment with standard terms of net 45 days unless bidders offer expedited payment discounts. While no explicit budget range or award value is stated in the available documentation, the procurement involves two complete snowmobile units with all required accessories and delivery, suggesting a substantial contract value commensurate with purchasing new commercial-grade equipment.
