Government Procurement Case and Winning Bid Solution Analysis for the Ford Transit V362 Service Vehicle in Tangshan — covering municipal sanitation and emergency response applications. In municipal sanitation and emergency support sectors, the Ford Transit V362 service vehicle has become an increasingly preferred choice for many organizations due to its reliable powertrain, flexible customization options, and low maintenance costs. This article draws on an actual procurement case by a municipal sanitation department in Tangshan City, analyzing it across dimensions including Spring Festival support, flood-season emergency response, routine duty operations, and fault handling—combined with Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd.’s winning bid proposal—to provide procurement entities with an objective and practical reference. I. Case Background: Procurement Driven by Operational Requirements In 2024, a district-level municipal sanitation department in Tangshan City (hereinafter referred to as “the Client”) planned to procure a batch of mobile service vehicles, primarily intended for three operational scenarios: Spring Festival Support Tasks: During the Spring Festival holiday period, urban population surges significantly, substantially increasing demands for garbage collection and street cleaning. Mobile service vehicles are required to respond rapidly to emergent situations—such as equipment repair and emergency dispatching. Flood-Season Emergency Response Tasks: Frequent heavy rainfall during the flood season causes water accumulation in low-lying road sections. Service vehicles must be equipped with drainage pumps, emergency lighting systems, and other equipment to participate in flood control and rescue operations. Routine Inspection and Maintenance: Daily inspection and maintenance of sanitation facilities within the jurisdiction—including trash bins, public restrooms, and transfer stations—requires vehicles capable of carrying tools and spare parts. After comparing brands such as Jiangling and Maxus, the Client ultimately selected the Ford Transit V362 chassis, owing to its stable performance under full-load conditions (powered by a 2.0T diesel engine) and ample space for customization. Following multiple rounds of tendering, Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Chengli”) delivered five Ford Transit V362 service vehicles under its winning bid proposal, at an approximate unit price of RMB 220,000 (based on publicly available tender information), keeping the total budget within RMB 1,238,000.
