Side-By-Side UTV's

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is seeking to procure specialized side-by-side Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs) through a competitive solicitation with a contract term of one year. The primary procurement is for a 2021 or current model year Polaris Pro XD 2000D diesel-powered UTV with comprehensive specifications, including advanced features such as all-wheel drive, full cab enclosure, heated and defrosted systems, multiple LED light bars, a 6k lb winch, power steering, in-dash audio, and a snow plow kit. Bidders must provide detailed documentation at delivery, including invoice, certificate of origin, electronic retail certificate of sale, and MV82 form. Additional requirements encompass providing two extra pre-programmed key fobs, completing NYS vehicle inspection, and ensuring the vehicle is delivered fully fueled and ready for immediate service. The solicitation requires vendors to provide their own unloading and loading equipment and mandates that personnel wear appropriate personal protective equipment during delivery. The procurement opportunity is open across all New York State counties, with the specific delivery location being the Clark Energy Center, and proposals are due by December 8, 2021, at 4:00 PM.

The contract opportunity is not designated as a service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors. While no specific restrictions on vendor participation are noted, the comprehensive technical specifications and delivery requirements suggest that potential bidders must have specialized capabilities in UTV procurement and modification. The solicitation includes an optional secondary line item for a full battery electric version of the same vehicle configuration, indicating potential future interest in electric vehicle technologies. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documentation. The procurement appears to be part of NYPA's ongoing equipment replacement or expansion strategy, with strict requirements for vehicle preparation, documentation, and delivery readiness. Vendors must demonstrate technical proficiency, ability to meet precise vehicle specifications, and capability to provide comprehensive delivery and documentation services.
