The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, is seeking to procure a used cargo van for Merrimack County through Bid Request 202-25. The specific requirements include a full-size cargo van manufactured in 2023 or newer, with no more than 30,000 miles, featuring a rear-wheel drive configuration and a 3.5L V6 Flex Fuel engine. The gross vehicle weight rating must not exceed 8,500 pounds, and the maximum bid price is set at $40,000.00. The bid solicitation was distributed on May 15, 2025, with proposals due on May 23, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.

Delivery is expected within 30 days after purchase order receipt, with the delivery point specified as the Bureau of Enforcement and Appeals located at 100 North Main Street in Concord, NH. The state emphasizes environmentally friendly practices and encourages vendors to submit products with energy-efficient, reusable, and recyclable characteristics.

The bid does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Payment will be processed via ACH, with invoices submitted to dbea.accountspayable@livefree.nh.gov and processed within 30 days of delivery and acceptance. The state reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to modify contract items as needed. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears to be a straightforward vehicle replacement for the Bureau of Enforcement and Appeals. The total budget for this procurement is capped at $40,000.00, which represents the maximum allowable bid price for the used cargo van. Potential vendors should carefully review the bid specifications, ensuring their proposed vehicle meets all technical and environmental requirements outlined in the solicitation.
