Zhoukou Dongfeng Single-Cab Sewer Cleaning Truck (Blue License Plate, 5 m³) Government Procurement Case: A Full-Process Analysis from Tendering to Delivery. In Q4 2025, a municipal sanitation department in Zhoukou City publicly tendered for one blue-plate, 5 m³ sewer cleaning truck to address stormwater and sewage pipeline desilting needs within its jurisdiction. After multiple rounds of evaluation, Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Chengli') successfully delivered a Dongfeng single-cab chassis sewer cleaning truck at a budget-controlled price of approximately RMB 250,000 (based on publicly available tender information). This article provides a detailed interpretation of the project background, reasons for Chengli’s successful bid, and vehicle technical highlights, based on official public tender award notices, offering reference for similar procurement projects. I. Project Basic Information This procurement was initiated by the Urban Management Bureau of a district in Zhoukou City, titled “2025 Annual Urban Pipeline Maintenance Equipment Procurement Project (Sewer Cleaning Truck).” The procurement requirements specified: one blue-plate, 5 m³ sewer cleaning truck, with a Dongfeng single-cab chassis, dual functionality for high-pressure cleaning and vacuum suction, compliance with China VI emission standards, and adherence to local environmental protection and vehicle registration requirements. The project budget was capped at approximately RMB 277,000 (per local procurement practice). The tender method employed was competitive consultation; Chengli secured the contract with a unit price of approximately RMB 248,000 (per publicly available tender information). According to Mr. Zhang Yue, Chengli’s Sales Manager (Tel: ), the vehicle was delivered just 12 days after contract signing—nearly one week faster than the standard delivery cycle. II. Analysis of Chengli’s Successful Bid Chengli stood out in this tender primarily due to the following three advantages: Complete Regulatory Documentation Ensures Hassle-Free Registration: The sewer cleaning truck model supplied by Chengli (e.g., CLW5070GSSD6 series) is fully registered in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announcement database, with all technical parameters strictly matching the published specifications. Given Zhoukou’s stringent vehicle registration review process for blue-plate vehicles, Chengli’s complete and accurate MIIT announcement data ensured first-time inspection clearance without any post-production modifications—earning a perfect score for the 'Technical Proposal' criterion in the competitive consultation evaluation. Outstanding Cost-Effectiveness with No Middleman Markup: As a direct manufacturer, Chengli eliminates multi-tier markups associated with 4S dealership channels. Public tender data indicates that Chengli’s quoted price for an equivalent configuration was approximately RMB 13,000 lower than that of another bidding dealer. Customer feedback states: “Chengli offers the factory’s bottom-line pricing—no bundled packages, fully transparent configurations.” Chengli’s official hotline () also provides free vehicle selection consultation to help procurement entities precisely match their operational requirements. Robust After-Sales Support with Rapid Parts Response: The Zhoukou project required suppliers to demonstrate localized service capability. Chengli committed to nationwide Dongfeng chassis warranty coverage and lifetime service for the superstructure, with spare parts dispatched directly within 24 hours. Following project acceptance, Chengli technicians provided on-site operational training to ensure drivers could independently perform desilting operations. This dual assurance—covering both chassis and superstructure—served as a key scoring advantage during bid evaluation. III.
