RFQ 2025-0038 Twenty (20) Powered Wheelchairs

The Savannah Airport Commission has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2025-0038) for the procurement of twenty (20) powered wheelchairs to be used in a commercial airport environment for transporting passengers with reduced mobility. The RFQ requires brand new electric wheelchairs with specific technical specifications, including lithium-ion batteries, a 300-pound weight capacity, dual control systems, integrated storage, a maximum 60-inch turning radius, and capability to navigate jet bridge slopes up to 10 degrees. All equipment must include a manufacturer's warranty (minimum one year preferred) and be accompanied by two copies of parts, repair, and operator's manuals. The solicitation was posted on November 18, 2025, with a submission deadline of December 19, 2025, through the Savannah Airport Commission's Bonfire platform. Bidders must submit questions by December 1, 2025, with the final addendum to be issued by December 5, 2025. The evaluation period is scheduled from December 22, 2025, to February 27, 2026, with notification to bidders expected by March 2, 2026.

The RFQ does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must register through the Bonfire platform (https://savannahairport.bonfirehub.com) to submit a response, with no alternative submission methods accepted. Bidders are required to provide itemized pricing inclusive of all costs, including shipping and handling, and specify warranty coverage and maintenance service locations. The Savannah Airport Commission reserves the right to reject any and all bids, waive informalities, request additional information, and adjust the final quantity purchased based on cost and budget considerations. Payment terms are set at net 30 days upon receipt and acceptance of goods. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves twenty powered wheelchairs, suggesting a potentially significant investment in accessibility equipment for the airport's passenger transportation infrastructure.
