This contract will provide an array of transportation services, including cargo/transit vans, box trucks with lift gates, power-only trucks, and semi-trailers, on an as-needed basis. The scope of work may require the transportation of palletized commodities, as well as potentially hazardous, perishable, or corrosive goods.

The contract will have an initial term upon signature through December 31, 2027, with a maximum total term of 10 years. Bids must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system by the August 6, 2024 due date.

This solicitation is subject to the Small Business Set-Aside Program, and awards will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for all line items. The State intends to award primary, secondary, and tertiary contracts valued at $5 million, $3 million, and $2 million, respectively. The contract will be funded through a combination of state and federal sources, including potentially FEMA financial assistance or grant funds, so the successful vendor(s) must comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and requirements. No pre-bid conference has been scheduled, and the State may receive a discount for prompt payment.
