UTVs

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, is seeking to procure two Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs) for building and grounds maintenance through Request for Bid (RFB) 16-26. The solicitation specifically requires John Deere Gator XUV vehicles or equivalent models, each equipped with a 6-foot plow and a Boss Sander VBS 3000 V Box Spreader. Required vehicle specifications include a minimum 53 HP engine, four-wheel drive with selectable gears, a minimum 4000 lbs towing capacity, and capabilities for both on and off-road use, particularly for snow plowing and sanding purposes. The bid is scheduled for distribution on 8/14/2025, with responses due on 8/27/2025 at 11:30 AM Eastern Time. Vendors must provide detailed pricing on the offer sheet, specifying both unit and total costs, and are expected to deliver the vehicles within 90 days of purchase order receipt to the Central Facilities Bureau Grounds Shop in Concord, NH. The state emphasizes environmentally friendly practices and requires vendors to provide Safety Data Sheets while complying with the Workers Right to Know Act.

The bid does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract requires a standard warranty of at least one year or the manufacturer's standard period, which comprehensively covers 100% of parts, shipping, labor, travel, lodging, and associated expenses. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the procurement is structured as a one-time purchase for two UTVs with accompanying equipment. No incumbent vendors are identified in the current solicitation. The procurement appears to be open to equipment vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and environmental compliance requirements. Potential respondents should carefully review the full bid documentation to ensure complete alignment with the state's technical and operational needs for these utility vehicles.
