Stainless Steel Tanker

The State of South Dakota, specifically through the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT), is seeking to procure a 6,000-gallon, 2-axle stainless steel tanker trailer to be delivered to Mitchell, South Dakota. The procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 66c86f3dcca93bdb5b0cfeb4, is located within Day County and requires a highly specific tanker with precise technical specifications. The tanker must feature a 30-inch deep drop double conical shell constructed from minimum 12-gauge T304 stainless steel, include internal baffles, a 4-inch drain pocket, and a 13HP gas engine-driven pump with electric start. Additional requirements include aluminum hose carriers, a 20-inch minimum manhole cover, leaf spring or air ride suspension, 10-hole hub piloted wheels, OEM standard disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system, and LED lighting compliant with South Dakota laws. The vendor must deliver the tanker within 120 calendar days of the purchase order, with a potential penalty of $50 per day for late delivery, and the proposal is due by August 27, 2024.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises based on the provided documentation. The vendor manual suggests potential preferences for South Dakota resident businesses, but no definitive set-aside criteria are specified for this particular contract. The tanker must meet all federal safety requirements and be painted in the manufacturer's standard color, with no vendor decals or advertising permitted. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documents, the procurement is being conducted through the State of South Dakota's Office of Procurement Management, which follows standardized purchasing protocols. Interested vendors should carefully review the technical specifications in the 11098_specs.pdf document and the vendor guidelines in the SDVendorManual_20240415.pdf to ensure full compliance with all procurement requirements and submission guidelines.
