Truck Accessories, Caps, F-150 Ford Mavericks

The State of Maine, specifically through the Department of Administrative and Financial Services' Office of State Procurement Services, is seeking a Master Agreement for truck accessories and caps primarily for F-150 Ford Mavericks, with a focus on law enforcement vehicle equipment. The Request for Quotations (RFQ 16A 250829-52) aims to establish a contract allowing state agencies to purchase specified vehicle accessories on an as-needed basis. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of accessories including truck caps, cargo boxes, cargo slides, running boards, and tonneau covers from manufacturers such as Leer, Decked, TrailFX, and BAK, with options for both installed and uninstalled configurations. Quotations are due by 4:00 p.m. on October 23, 2025, with an initial contract term from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2026. The State plans to award the contract to the vendor submitting the highest number of low bids across catalog items, evaluating bids on a best value basis considering compliance with specifications, delivery timelines, and overall state interests. Vendors must submit a detailed Excel bid price sheet and guarantee pricing for at least the first year of the contract.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract allows potential utilization by municipalities, political subdivisions, and school districts, though the State will not be responsible for their orders. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. The State reserves the right to negotiate additional unit purchases at the bid price for six months after the award and may consider price adjustments after the first year if vendors provide documentation of cost increases. While no specific budget range is outlined, the procurement is structured without a guaranteed purchase quantity in the first year, indicating flexibility in potential contract value. Pricing must be submitted with FOB-Destination terms, with all shipping charges included in the bid price. The contract includes the potential for four additional one-year renewal periods, extending potentially through November 30, 2030, which suggests a significant long-term procurement opportunity for the selected vendor.
