The Town of Natick, Massachusetts is conducting a public auction for the sale of a surplus 2012 Ford F-550 truck through an online platform at publicsurplus.com. The vehicle is a municipal surplus asset featuring a 6.7L turbo diesel engine, 4X4 driveline, Everest 9-foot plow, and a Stellar Hooklift body (model 8.4-10 FLFX) with 68,108 miles. The online auction commenced on January 13, 2025, and will conclude on February 10, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. EST, with the highest responsive bidder winning the auction. The truck is being sold "as-is" and must be retrieved from the Natick Department of Public Works within ten days of payment. Prospective bidders must submit their offers exclusively through the publicsurplus.com website, with the Town reserving the right to reject all bids and potentially negotiate a private sale if the highest bid does not meet their expectations.

The procurement opportunity does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit a signed non-collusion form and certify compliance with Massachusetts tax laws. The winning bidder will be responsible for full electronic payment through publicsurplus.com, as well as all delivery costs and sales tax upon vehicle registration. While no specific budget range is outlined, the auction format suggests the final sale price will be determined by competitive bidding. The Town of Natick maintains discretion in the final sale process, including the potential to reject all submitted bids if they do not meet the municipality's objectives. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are mentioned in the procurement documentation.
