CRFQ-0803-DOT2600000106-1 | Off Road and Agriculture Tires

The contract, identified as CRFQ-0803-DOT2600000106-1, is a state-level solicitation issued by the West Virginia Department of Administration, Purchasing Division, for the procurement of off-road and agricultural tires under a central master agreement structure with IDIQ-like characteristics. The solicitation, posted on June 24, 2026, with a response deadline of July 14, 2026, targets vendors to supply tires through a catalog-based pricing model detailed in Exhibit A, where all bid submissions must include completed pricing pages, product catalog information, warranties, and certifications. The evaluation process is strictly lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA), meaning vendors must first meet all technical requirements—including compliance with product specifications, provision of required documentation, and accurate total cost calculations—before the award is determined solely by the lowest bid cost, with no trade-offs permitted among non-cost factors. Performance is governed under a term contract structure with an initial one-year period and up to three optional one-year renewals, contingent upon mutual written agreement, formal approvals from the Purchasing Division and Attorney General’s Office, and submission of renewal requests at least 30 days prior to expiration. Delivery is F.O.B. destination to specified West Virginia Division of Highways locations, including Elkins, Franklin, Marlinton, and Parsons, requiring vendors to maintain adequate inventory and service capability across the state. The contract mandates comprehensive vendor compliance with state statutes including WV Code §§5A-3-10a and 148-1-6.1.e, requiring registration with the state purchasing system and payment of a $125 fee. Vendors must also maintain workers’ compensation insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, certify freedom from state debt, affirm absence of conflicts of interest, and comply with the state’s information security standards. A designated Contract Manager must be available during business hours for all contractual communications, and for contracts valued at $1 million or more, an Interested Party Disclosure form must be submitted before work commences and again after termination. While no formal Section K is present, socioeconomic status representation is voluntary and tied to preference eligibility under state law, and no UEI or CAGE codes are required. Acceptance of goods occurs at the delivery location, with inspections conducted by the West Virginia Division of Highways District 8 based on compliance with specifications, merchantability, and freedom from defects.
