T2760 OEM Automotive Parts and Accessories for Light Duty Vehicles - Statewide

The State of New Jersey, through the Department of the Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property, is soliciting bids for a statewide contract (Bid Solicitation #25DPP01191) to procure Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) automotive parts and accessories for light duty vehicles. The procurement covers ten vehicle manufacturers, including General Motors, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge/RAM, Jeep, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, and Honda, focusing on vehicles classified as Class 4 or lower with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 15,000 pounds or less. The contract will serve three geographical regions: North, Central, and South, with the potential to award up to four contractors per region and manufacturer. Bidders must be OEM authorized dealers and provide a firm, fixed percentage discount or markup from the manufacturer's latest retail price list, explicitly specifying the percentage using plus (+) or minus (-) signs. The solicitation requires vendors to indicate which regions they will serve and provide detailed information about stocked and non-stocked delivery timeframes. Key dates include an electronic question submission deadline of July 30, 2025, and a quote opening date of August 20, 2025, with a base contract term of four years and potential extensions up to three additional years.

The procurement is not designated as a Small Business or Disabled Veteran-Owned Business set-aside, and non-OEM or aftermarket parts are explicitly excluded from the contract. Contractors will be required to submit quarterly sales reports and remit a 1% Procurement Efficiency Program Fee on all purchases, as well as upload a catalog to the NJSTART Marketplace within 30 calendar days of contract execution. The state intends to establish convenience contracts that allow using agencies to conduct a selection process among awarded contractors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the statewide nature of the contract and its coverage of multiple vehicle manufacturers suggest a potentially significant procurement value. Vendors must complete comprehensive documentation, including the Bidder Data Form, which requires detailed information about past contract experiences, performance history, and potential risks. Additional requirements include completing standard procurement forms addressing ownership disclosure, investment activities, legal investigations, and compliance with various state regulations such as MacBride Principles and COVID-19 vaccination policies.
