Salt Lake City Request for Bid SLCI26098 Light Vehicle Bed Covers and Accessories

Salt Lake City Corporation is soliciting bids for truck bed covers, tonneau covers, and related truck accessories under solicitation number SLCI26098, with a response deadline of May 29, 2026. The procurement targets light-duty vehicles from 2025 and newer, including Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, and Toyota models, and requires suppliers to provide items such as winches, toolboxes, interior lighting kits, bed rails, running boards, and covers, all to be installed within Utah. Bidders must submit pricing via a standardized cost sheet divided into three categories, offering a discount percentage off manufacturer list prices that must include all costs—materials, labor, delivery, insurance, and surcharges—with no separate line items for these components. The award will be made under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, focusing strictly on the lowest responsive bid within each category, with no evaluation of technical merits beyond baseline compliance. The A.R.E. Toolmaster Series serves as the minimum specification standard for truck bed covers, and alternatives are acceptable only if they meet or exceed those standards, subject to final approval by Salt Lake City. There are no identified contract clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation, no special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel designations, contract options, or organizational conflict of interest provisions, and no packaging, marking, or inspection criteria specified beyond implied acceptance at the installation site by the agency. No payment, invoicing, or accounting information is included, and no contracting officer, COR, or COTR is named. Offerors are not required to submit certifications regarding small business status, UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic designations, and none were captured in the solicitation template. The submission must adhere strictly to the provided cost proposal form in Excel format, with data entry limited to designated yellow cells; any modification to protected fields or deviation from the format may result in disqualification. Delivery and performance are expected throughout Utah without a fixed timeline, and no contract value or quantity estimates are provided, as all fields in the pricing template are placeholder placeholders to be completed by bidders.
