*MARKET RESEARCH* CHAINSAWS, PARTS

The City of Los Angeles General Services Department is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for market research services related to chainsaws and associated parts. The City seeks vendor proposals that will analyze market conditions, pricing trends, supplier capabilities, and product availability to inform future procurement decisions. This is a short‑term, information‑gathering effort likely to culminate in a report and recommendations for the City’s purchasing strategy. • Scope: Conduct market analysis for chainsaws and parts (blades, motors, accessories). • Deliverables: Written report, data tables, pricing benchmarks, supplier shortlist, and presentation to City staff. • Timeline: Bids due September 17 2026; work expected to be completed within a few weeks after award. • Budget: Not publicly displayed; typical municipal market‑research contracts range from $50k‑$150k. • Submission: Online via LA Vendor Self‑Service portal (link provided).
