Semi-Truck

The State of Arkansas, through the Arkansas Department of Transformation and Shared Services Office of State Procurement (TSS OSP), is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on behalf of the University of Arkansas Community College Batesville (UACCB) to procure one (1) new or pre-owned Sleeper Cab Semi-Truck. The Sleeper Cab Semi-Truck will be used by UACCB for their Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Training Program. The IFB includes minimum specifications for the vehicle, such as engine, transmission, mileage, and condition. Bid responses must be submitted through ARBuy, the State's eProcurement system, by August 30, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-bidding, responsible Prospective Contractor based on the grand total bid. The anticipated start date for the resulting contract is immediately upon award, with the possibility of a three (3) calendar month adjustment. The IFB requires the Prospective Contractor to provide copies of warranties, service history, and repair history prior to contract award, and the Semi-Truck must also have a new DOT Inspection and be test driven by UACCB.

The procurement is not designated as a set-aside for any specific type of organization, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. The Contract and Grant Disclosure and Certification Form required for this opportunity does not provide any details on the award value or budget range. However, the form does require the contractor to disclose any current or former positions held by the contractor, its owners, or its subcontractors with the Arkansas state government, and the contractor must agree to require any subcontractors to complete a similar disclosure form and provide a copy to the state agency within 10 days of subcontractor engagement.
