Description
Truman State University’s Purchasing Department is seeking competitive quotes for one or more new mini‑trucks to support campus maintenance. The university plans to purchase two late‑model (post‑2023) gasoline‑engine mini‑trucks, but the quantity is flexible and may be zero or more. All purchases will be cash‑only; financing or leasing is not acceptable. Vehicles must meet specific performance, payload, and feature requirements, include manufacturer and dealer warranties, and be delivered FOB to the Kirksville campus. The solicitation emphasizes compliance, price competitiveness, and Missouri‑based vendor preference, with optional supplier‑diversity participation.
• Required vehicle: gasoline ≥ 45 hp, automatic or CVT, AWD/4WD, payload ≥ 1,000 lb, 2‑person seating, heater/defrost, rear bed ≥ 4 ft, preferably white.
• Purchase terms: cash purchase, dealer warranty ≥ 90 days, manufacturer warranty included, delivery prepaid to campus, FOB pricing.
• Submission: electronic (thumb‑drive or email) or paper, with required Exhibit A, Exhibit B, IRS Form W‑9, warranty documentation, and optional diversity plan; deadline 2 pm CT, April 23 2026.
• Evaluation: compliance first, then best‑value (price, warranty, Missouri preference, diversity).
