RFP-LIS-260000002380-1 | RFB LIVESTOCK TRAILER

The Lenawee Intermediate School District (LISD) is seeking a single 20-foot bumper-pull livestock trailer to support its TECH Agri-Tech Program at the Center for a Sustainable Future in Adrian, Michigan. The trailer must be fully assembled with an 8-pen system featuring adjustable stalls, drop-down feed windows, a dedicated tack area, and a rear ramp, and must be delivered F.O.B. at the LISD campus, with risk of loss remaining with the vendor until formal acceptance. Bidders are required to submit a complete proposal including a bid form, detailed specification sheets, warranty documentation, and a delivery timeline, accompanied by five mandatory administrative forms: Michigan-Based Business Certification and Verification, Familial Disclosure Statement, Iran Economic Sanctions Act Compliance Form, Suspended or Debarred Vendor Form, and Conflict of Interest Form. Compliance with these forms is mandatory, and failure to submit any will result in disqualification. Michigan-based businesses are eligible for a 5% or $10,000 bid price preference, whichever is less, contingent upon verification by the Michigan Department of Treasury. All bids must be submitted electronically via email to Linda Jones, Director of Purchasing, by 11:00 AM EST on July 22, 2026, with the subject line “Livestock Trailer.” Proposals must clearly disclose any deviations from the specified trailer configuration in writing at the time of submission; unreported deviations will be treated as non-compliance. The warranty provided must be transferable to LISD and include details on coverage and service provisions. The solicitation does not reference federal acquisition regulations, nor does it specify payment office details, invoicing systems, or funding codes such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN. No formal evaluation criteria, weights, or scoring system are outlined, and award is contingent on the district’s determination of the proposal most in its best interest, with bid validity extending 90 days beyond the deadline. Submitted bids are subject to Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act, and vendors are responsible for ensuring all information provided is accurate and compliant with federal debarment rules and state sanctions requirements. There are no packaging, marking, preservation, or bar-coding requirements specified, and the procurement does not require UEI, CAGE codes, or SAM.gov registration. All pricing fields in the bid form are left blank for vendor completion, and no estimated contract value is provided.
