RFI for AZCC Vehicle Leasing

The Arizona Corporation Commission has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking vendor insights for a comprehensive vehicle leasing program to support its fleet requirements. The RFI targets multiple vehicle categories, including passenger sedans, light-duty crew cab pickup trucks (1/2 ton), 4x4 heavy-duty crew cab pickup trucks (3/4-1 ton), and 4x4 sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Vendors are requested to provide detailed information on leasing program structures, encompassing service and maintenance plans, insurance coverage options, GPS and fleet management capabilities, vehicle replacement policies, branding and customization options, pricing, and financial considerations. The procurement's key objectives include developing a flexible and cost-effective leasing solution that covers the entire lifecycle of vehicle usage, maintenance, and replacement. The RFI was posted on November 12, 2025, with responses due by November 20, 2025, at 5:00 PM Arizona Time, under the oversight of Procurement Officer James Redican. Importantly, this RFI is strictly for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals, nor does it obligate the Commission to issue a future Request for Proposal (RFP) or award a contract.

The RFI does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Vendors are permitted to mark their submissions as proprietary or confidential, with the state maintaining confidentiality to the extent permissible by law, in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes 41-2555 and Arizona Administrative Code R2-7-G301. The responses to this RFI are not considered binding offers and cannot form a contract. Information submitted in response to the RFI will remain confidential until either the procurement process concludes or two years from the due date have elapsed, whichever occurs first. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the document. The Commission's primary goal appears to be gathering market intelligence about potential vehicle leasing options to inform future procurement strategies. Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive and detailed information about their leasing capabilities, with the understanding that the submitted information will be used solely for planning and evaluation purposes.
