SNOWMOBILE

The state of New Hampshire, specifically through the Department of Administrative Services and Procurement and Support Services, is seeking to procure a 2025 or newer Ski-Doo ACSA snowmobile for the Cannon Mountain Ski Area Lift Maintenance department. The Request for Bid (RFB) 5-26 outlines specific requirements for the snowmobile, including a wide/long track between 18"-24", a 2-up seat, gear selector with low/high/reverse capabilities, a minimum 600cc engine, and a picked or pickable track. The bid solicitation was distributed on July 10, 2025, with the final day for questions set for July 21, 2025, and the bid due date established as July 24, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Delivery will be to the Cannon Mountain Automotive Garage in Franconia, NH, with the successful vendor expected to complete delivery within 120 days of receiving the purchase order. The state will award the contract to the responsible vendor submitting the lowest cost bid that meets all specifications, reserving the right to reject any or all bids and to modify the contract as needed.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. The bid requires a one-time purchase with F.O.B. destination pricing, meaning all delivery costs are included in the unit price. The vendor must provide a comprehensive warranty covering 100% of parts, shipping, labor, travel, lodging, and expenses for at least one year or the manufacturer's standard warranty period. The state demonstrates a preference for environmentally friendly products, encouraging suppliers to provide materials with characteristics such as energy efficiency, reusability, recyclability, and reduced polluting byproducts. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single snowmobile with specific technical requirements, suggesting a targeted and focused acquisition for the Cannon Mountain Ski Area's maintenance operations.
