Transportation Services

The State of New Mexico is seeking a vendor to provide statewide transportation services for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The work covers all 33 counties, Pueblo lands, and tribal jurisdictions, and is broken down into five line‑item categories that are priced on a per‑mile or per‑trip basis. The contract will be awarded on a unit‑price basis; the State will issue individual trip orders as needs arise. • Door‑to‑door mileage rate – typically $1.70 per mile (standard across most counties). • Dead‑head mileage (empty‑run) – $0.60‑$0.70 per mile, with some counties quoting higher rates. • Additional flat‑fee services: service‑animal transport (often $0), caretaker transport (often $0), and mobility‑device handling ($17‑$20 per round‑trip). • Prices are applied uniformly across all jurisdictions; the vendor must be able to bill the State for each trip using the established unit rates. • Ten vendors submitted bids; the State will select one provider to fulfill the service statewide under the posted unit‑price schedule.
