Stainless Steel Tanker

The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SD DOT) has initiated a procurement opportunity for a specialized 5600-Gallon 2-axle Stainless Steel Tanker to be delivered to Mitchell, South Dakota. The procurement requires a deep drop double conical, exterior ring, non-code trailer with a specific T304 stainless steel shell configuration and comprehensive technical specifications. Deliverable requirements include internal baffles, a 13hp gas engine-driven pump, aluminum hose carriers, air ride suspension, 10-hole hub piloted wheels, and LED lighting compliant with federal and state regulations. The tanker must meet stringent technical standards, including OEM standard disk brakes, an anti-lock braking system, specific tire and wheel specifications, and a ladder for manhole access. The contract stipulates a 120-calendar day delivery timeline from the purchase order date, with a potential late delivery penalty of $50 per day, and mandates that all federal safety requirements are met.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the South Dakota Vendor Manual suggests potential preferences for resident businesses and minority business enterprises. Vendors must be registered with the state and comply with corporate registration requirements. The delivery is designated FOB Destination, with all transportation and delivery charges to be paid by the vendor, and each unit must undergo a complete pre-delivery inspection according to manufacturer recommendations. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed technical specifications suggest this is a specialized procurement with potential significant equipment value. The procurement covers Day County and is posted under State Local Contract Opportunity ID 6846c20d7afb2692fb04697a, with a response deadline of June 17, 2025. Interested vendors must carefully review the 15210_specs.pdf document and ensure complete compliance with all technical and procedural requirements outlined in the procurement documentation.
