Used Only Truck Motor

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks issued a Limited Solicitation (FWP-LimtSol-2020-0129-1) for a used 6.4L Ford diesel engine replacement for a truck on February 13, 2020, with proposals due by February 27, 2020. The procurement specifically required a vendor to remove the existing engine and install a replacement engine, with the agency responsible for truck delivery and pickup. Vendors were required to complete several prerequisites, including downloading and filling out a Contractor Information form and specification sheet, uploading manufacturers' literature for the motor, and providing a warranty. The solicitation utilized a lump sum (LS) pricing model covering motor, parts, and labor, with associated commodity codes including vehicle repairs/maintenance, auto parts, and heavy equipment repair and maintenance parts. Bidders were evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, provide appropriate documentation, and offer a competitive price. The solicitation contact was Kari Shinn, reachable at KShinn@mt.gov or +1 406-495-3249, who would manage the procurement process and vendor communications.

The procurement did not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Only one bid was ultimately received, which was awarded to T.M. Pierce Inc. for $13,021.70. Payment terms were established at 0% with Net 30 conditions, providing standard payment expectations for the contracted work. The contract appeared to be a straightforward replacement service without complex integration requirements or specific enterprise restrictions. The total contract value was $13,021.70, representing the full cost for motor replacement, parts, and associated labor. The procurement was relatively small in scope, focused on a specific mechanical replacement for a Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks vehicle, and followed standard state procurement protocols for limited solicitations.
