Telescopic boom lift

The State of South Carolina's State Fiscal Accountability Authority (SFAA), Division of Procurement Services, is soliciting bids on behalf of the Adjutant General's Office for a telescopic boom lift to be delivered to the McCrady Training Center in Eastover, SC. The procurement seeks a highly specialized piece of equipment with specific technical requirements, including a dual fuel source (gasoline and propane), 4-wheel drive, and 2-speed transmission. The desired lift must feature a 36 in. x 72 in. platform with a minimum weight capacity of 650 lbs. for two persons, a minimum platform height of 60 ft., a minimum horizontal outreach of 50 ft., and 360-degree continuous rotation. Vendors must submit their bids online at www.procurement.sc.gov by 11:00 AM on 04/16/2025, with all questions due by 04/02/2025. The procurement timeline indicates that the award will be posted on 04/23/2025, and vendors are required to submit a manufacturer's specification sheet demonstrating full compliance with the detailed technical requirements.

The solicitation includes a minority participation section that encourages participation of certified minority businesses, though no specific set-aside percentages are mandated. The procurement is conducted under the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code and will include standard state contract terms and conditions covering areas such as taxes, payment, and termination. Vendors must complete various certifications, including independent price determination and debarment status declarations. While the solicitation does not specify a precise contract value or budget range, it requires vendors to submit their own unit pricing as part of the bid package. The procurement appears to be open to equipment manufacturers and authorized dealers who can meet the technical specifications and comply with state procurement regulations. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation.
