Request to Utilize Modified Vehicle Ordering Process
Only for Use Administrative Vehicles Statewide Contract #99999-SPD-ES40199373

vehicles. Awarded suppliers within each vehicle class/category must be used to purchase
the vehicle desired by the Agency.
b. Suppliers in the awarded vehicle class/category have up to ten (10) business days to
commit in writing their ability to fulfill orders received by Agency. If the awarded supplier
cannot commit to fulfill orders received by the Agency Buyer within the ten (10) business
day window, the Agency Buyer must receive written documentation that the order cannot
be fulfilled.
c. After the Agency has received documentation from the awarded supplier that the order

vehicle statewide contract suppliers can choose to respond to Agency request and offer to
