Police Vehicles and Special Operations Vehicles

The Georgia Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Division is issuing solicitation SWC-eRFP-00028-2027 to establish a statewide contract with one or more qualified suppliers for police and special operations vehicles. The scope of the contract includes a diverse range of vehicles, such as police and security equipped automobiles, ambulances, rescue vehicles, SUV type vehicles, Class 1, 2, and 3 trucks, fire protection and crash rescue vehicles, and CBRNE incident response vehicles. The solicitation opened on September 24, 2026, with responses due by November 24, 2026. To be eligible, suppliers must be authorized dealers for the vehicles offered and maintain at least one factory-authorized service center or servicing dealer within the State of Georgia. They must also be registered with the Georgia Secretary of State and possess all necessary federal, state, and local licenses. Evaluation criteria focus on supplier general information, customer service programs, warranty and recall procedures, delivery processes, and cost. Additionally, the state is implementing a pilot program allowing suppliers to provide voluntary value-added offerings, such as agency logos or vinyl wraps, at no additional charge. All vehicles must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Occupational Safety and Health Standards, Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards, the National Electric Code, and National Fire Protection Association Standards. Suppliers are required to act as the single point of contact for warranty claims and must ensure all defects are corrected prior to final acceptance by the authorized user, which triggers the payment obligation. The contract prohibits the application of dealer advertising on delivered vehicles and stipulates that no federal excise or state taxes shall be charged on sales.
