COUNTY VEHICLES

The County of Shasta, through its Department of Support Services Purchasing Division, is issuing Request for Bids 27-07 to procure new 2026 or 2027 vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, and specialty Ford models. The procurement aims to establish a blanket purchase order for the fiscal year spanning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Bids must be submitted electronically by September 23, 2026, with an inquiry deadline of September 9, 2026. The county will award each vehicle to the lowest price bidder who meets all technical specifications and terms. A critical requirement for all bidders is the maintenance of a dealership or service department within 30 miles of 1654 Court Street in Redding, California, to ensure accessible warranty work and service. Bidders must provide a completed Specifications and Pricing Proposal and a vendor questionnaire confirming their business status and eligibility, including certification that they are not debarred from federal programs or listed on the SAM.gov exclusions list. Additionally, compliance with economic sanctions related to Russia is required. Proposed pricing must remain guaranteed until the first order is placed, with any subsequent price increases during the fiscal year capped at 10 percent.
