The trailer will be used by CDFW Law Enforcement Officers. The RFQ specifies the required equipment details, including deck material, axles, winch, toolbox, and color. The equipment must be delivered within 90 days of the order and inspected by a state auto inspector. The RFQ has a due date of October 31, 2024, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The pricing terms indicate that the bid must be all-inclusive, with no additional charges or fees allowed after award.

The RFQ includes information on small business and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) preferences, as well as requirements related to the Darfur Contracting Act, California seller's permit, and payee data record form. Bidders must also complete a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) certification if they are claiming small business or DVBE status. The contract opportunity does not list any incumbent vendors or provide a budget range, but the state of California requires vendors to disclose the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the performance of state contracts.
