What Glendale is buying

The City of Glendale Purchasing Department is requesting quotes for a Ford F-350 XL extended-cab chassis cab with single-wheel drive and a service body, to match the attached specifications and visuals. The City will also consider an equal vehicle that meets those specifications; vendors offering an equal must provide a spec sheet.

The City may accept or reject quotes by item or as a whole, and may reject any or all quotes.

Key date and deadline

The RFQ was published October 30, 2026. Quotes are due November 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET.

Late submissions will not be accepted or opened. For an electronic response, it is the vendor’s responsibility to have the quote entered in PlanetBids before the deadline.

Who this opportunity suits

This RFQ may suit vehicle dealers or other vendors able to supply the specified Ford chassis cab and service body. It may also suit vendors offering an equal vehicle that meets the attached specifications and can provide its spec sheet.

The opportunity is listed in the equipment category.
