The state of Arkansas, through the Arkansas Department of Transformation and Shared Services Office of State Procurement (TSS OSP), is procuring one (1) new Crew Cab Semi-Tractor on behalf of the University of Arkansas Community College Batesville (UACCB). The Invitation for Bid (IFB) specifies detailed technical requirements for the semi-truck, including that it must be the latest model of proven performance. Prospective bidders are required to submit pricing and other required documentation, such as a Bid Signature Page, Proposed Subcontractors Form, and Exceptions Form, by the bid opening scheduled for July 23, 2021 at 2:00 PM Central Time. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-bidding, responsible Prospective Contractor on an all-or-none basis, with delivery requested by December 31, 2021.

The IFB includes provisions for set-asides for minority and women-owned businesses. Prospective contractors must also confirm they do not employ illegal immigrants and do not boycott Israel. The successful Contractor will be required to adhere to the State's Standard Commodities Contract, and any exceptions to the contract terms must be identified in the bid response. The contract award is anticipated to be made upon award, with the actual start date potentially adjusted by up to three months. Additional salient information includes the need for prospective contractors to review and comply with the "Standard Commodities Contract" and "Solicitation Terms and Conditions" located on the TSS OSP website.
