Request for Expression of Interest (RFEOI) - Used Day Cab and Trailer

Yavapai College is conducting a Request for Expression of Interest (RFEOI) to explore potential suppliers for a used day cab and trailer for its Commercial Driver's License (CDL) driver training program. The procurement seeks a specific configuration of used commercial vehicle equipment, including a day cab with a non-sleeper configuration, 10-speed manual transmission, less than 420,000 miles, and a model year no older than 2014. The accompanying trailer must be a 48-foot dry van with sliding tandem axles. The RFEOI was issued on October 2, 2023, with responses due by October 9, 2023, at 2:30 PM Arizona Mountain Standard Time. Interested suppliers must complete and submit the Supplier Expression of Interest Form directly to Kelsey Ream, Senior Procurement Specialist, via email at Kelsey.Ream@yc.edu. The college emphasizes that this RFEOI is an information-gathering exercise to determine market capability and does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract. Any potential future solicitation would require offerors to maintain their offer and pricing for a minimum of 30 days after submission.

The RFEOI does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or specific restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the document, and there are no details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. Additionally, the RFEOI does not provide any specific award values or budget ranges for the potential procurement. The document explicitly states that Yavapai College reserves the right to reject all expressions of interest or issue no solicitation at all. This preliminary document serves solely to establish a potential vendor pool before developing a formal solicitation, with no pricing information or funding details currently disclosed. Potential vendors are encouraged to demonstrate their capability to meet the specific vehicle requirements for the college's CDL training program.
