About this opportunity
The County of Tulare, as part of the Central Valley Purchasing Group, is seeking to procure one (1) new, unused 2025 or 2026 Ford Explorer or equivalent mid-size SUV through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. The vehicle must meet specific requirements including automatic transmission, power windows/locks/mirrors, cruise control, Bluetooth, backup camera, floor console, floor mats, cloth seats, AM/FM stereo, and a white exterior with a dark interior. Quotes are due by 2:00 PM PDT on October 29, 2025, with required delivery prior to June 30, 2025, to the Tulare County Road Yard in Visalia, CA. The county will evaluate quotes based on multiple criteria, including price, vendor performance history, ability to provide satisfactory goods, and conformance to quality and specifications. Vendors must provide three complete sets of keys and remote fobs, obtain wheel alignment certification, and comply with California Vehicle Code. The pricing structure includes the unit price, documentation fee, electronic vehicle registration fee, and vehicle tire fee, with a California state sales tax rate of 7.75%.
The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The RFQ includes provisions for potential participation by other governmental entities within the Central Valley Purchasing Group, with each entity to be billed separately. While no incumbent vendor is specified, the document requires vendors to complete mandatory exhibits including a signature page and debarment certification. Vendors must also adhere to various state and federal regulations. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single vehicle, suggesting a limited-scope purchase typical of municipal fleet replacement or expansion efforts. The county reserves the right to award the quote based on a comprehensive assessment of vendor capabilities and proposal merits, indicating flexibility in the selection process.
