RFQ032864 - Caterpillar OEM Parts UTC

The City of Columbus is seeking a qualified vendor to establish a Universal Term Contract (UTC) for the supply of new, unused Caterpillar OEM parts and associated warranty service to support its fleet of municipal vehicles and equipment. The contract will run from the award date through September 30 2028 (with a possible one‑year extension) and is limited to a modest annual spend, making it a low‑volume, steady‑state sourcing opportunity. • Provide Caterpillar OEM parts at a fixed discount off the official price list; discounts must remain stable for the first 12 months, with up to two escalations thereafter. • Demonstrate at least five years of experience supplying Caterpillar parts and warranty service, and furnish four references from similar contracts. • Deliver parts FOB destination, meet lead‑time requirements, and support post‑award e‑catalog integration for City purchase orders and cooperative purchasing agencies.
