The specific vehicle requirements include a 3.5L V6 engine, 10-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive configuration, lunar silver and steel metallic exterior, and black cloth interior.

Bidders must submit a comprehensive bid package through the Ventura County Vendor VIP portal (Bonfire) by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, October 20, 2025, with bid prices remaining firm for 60 days. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will determine the lowest responsible bidder based on individual items or the entire solicitation, with evaluation criteria focusing on quality service, on-time delivery, and ability to meet specified requirements.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are encouraged to extend their pricing, terms, and conditions to other public agencies in Ventura County through a cooperative procurement agreement, though this will not factor into the award decision. The solicitation requires vendors to provide four master key sets, three invoice copies, parts and repair manuals, and ensure the vehicle meets current Federal and California emissions and safety requirements. Delivery will be to the County of Ventura GSA Fleet Services, with the vendor responsible for licensing and registration. While no specific budget range is listed, the bid documents require vendors to exclude all applicable sales or use taxes from their pricing. Bidders must also complete additional documentation including a non-collusion affidavit and demonstrate compliance with federal, state, and local laws, emphasizing transparency and competitive bidding practices.
