Used Crew Cab Pick-up Truck for UNH Lab Grant Funded

The University System of New Hampshire is soliciting a single used crew cab pickup truck under a firm $30,000 budget funded by the UNH Climate Smart Agriculture Grant (GR004022). The vehicle must be a 2019 model year or newer with no more than 60,000 miles, sourced exclusively from a licensed auto dealership, and must include a clean title free of flood, salvage, or lemon law buyback history. It must pass a current New Hampshire state safety inspection, have no dashboard warning lights, functional tires and brakes, no structural damage, and no unresolved safety recalls. A CARFAX or AutoCheck report must be provided, along with full warranty documentation. Bids must be submitted electronically via the UShopNH portal by 12:00 p.m. on May 7, 2026, with award expected the week of May 11, 2026. Proposals must include two sets of keys and remain valid for at least 30 days after submission. The truck is to be delivered to 213 Main Street, Durham, NH 03824, with all costs—including delivery and fees—included in the bid price. An optional hard-top canopy may be offered but cannot cause the total to exceed $30,000. Evaluation considers cost, vehicle condition, compliance with specifications, warranty terms, model year, delivery capability, and additional features, with USNH reserving the right to reject any bid if it is not in its best interest, indicating a trade-off evaluation approach rather than strict lowest price. Only licensed dealerships may respond, and all submissions become public records after award under New Hampshire’s Right to Know Law. No federal acquisition regulations apply, and no COR, COTR, PCO, payment details, or invoicing system are specified; all communication must occur through the UShopNH Q&A board.
