Refrigerated trailers lease

The North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the four-month lease of 12 refrigerated 53-foot trailers to store USDA food. The RFQ requires vendors to provide monthly lease pricing, as well as any applicable fuel charges if the trailers are not returned full, and clean-up charges if the trailers are not returned clean. Vendors must also provide their North Carolina vendor registration number and comply with North Carolina's Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program requirements. The contract will be awarded to the responsive vendor offering the lowest price that meets the RFQ's specifications. The RFQ was issued on September 30, 2024, with quotes due by October 1, 2024, and the contract term will begin upon completion and acceptance of all requirements within the scope of work.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified. The RFQ also does not provide any details on the possible award value or budget range for this contract opportunity. However, as this is a lease of refrigerated trailers, the total contract value would likely depend on the monthly lease rate, the number of trailers required, and the duration of the lease term.
