The University of New Hampshire (UNH), acting through the University System of New Hampshire (USNH), is requesting bids for the purchase of one mini passenger van for UNH Durham, with bids due September 18, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EDT and delivery required by September 30, 2026. Only licensed auto dealerships are eligible; private sales will not be considered.

The vehicle must be a 2023 model year or newer with 20,000 miles or less, seating 6 to 8 passengers. Addendum 01 permits bidders to submit quotes for both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) options, though FWD is the primary requirement and single-quote submissions must quote FWD. Preferred features include white color, gasoline or hybrid fuel, high fuel efficiency, and anti-lock braking systems. For used vehicles, two sets of keys must be provided. Delivery is to 213 Main Street, Durham, NH 03824, or to a location within approximately two hours' driving distance from UNH Durham if delivery is not offered.

Vendors must provide detailed vehicle specifications, warranty documentation, and pricing on a net basis including all supply, delivery, and warranty costs. Bids must be submitted through the bid portal; email submissions will not be accepted. The purchase is funded through a National Institute of Standards and Technology grant. Questions are due September 17, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EDT.

Bidders must verify vendor debarment status, acknowledge USNH terms and conditions (with written exceptions subject to USNH approval), confirm compliance with USNH insurance requirements, agree to provide financial statements if requested, and confirm review of all buyer attachments. USNH reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive minor irregularities, and award to multiple vendors. The Owner's Agent is Brenda Bowers of USNH Procurement Services (Brenda.Bowers@usnh.edu).
