Nantong Ford New Generation V348 Service Vehicle Government Procurement Case: Emergency Supplementary Procurement and Chengli Delivery Solution — In spring 2025, a district in Nantong City experienced continuous heavy rainfall, causing severe waterlogging in low-lying areas. The municipal sanitation department urgently needed to deploy mobile command vehicles and material transport vehicles to support on-site rescue operations. Existing vehicles were outdated and prone to frequent breakdowns, failing to meet all-weather operational requirements. Per local procurement practice, emergency projects must complete vehicle delivery within three working days; otherwise, overall prevention and control progress would be compromised. The department had no prior inventory of specialized service vehicles, and standard procurement procedures—including needs assessment, budget approval, and open tendering—typically take 15–30 days. To overcome this bottleneck, the department activated the 'Emergency Supplementary Procurement' mechanism: bypassing certain lengthy formalities and directly engaging manufacturers with ready stock, official MIIT vehicle announcements, and proven delivery experience, selecting suppliers via competitive quotation and rapid evaluation. The procuring entity specified the following core requirements: • Chassis must comply with China VI emission standards and be eligible for registration and annual inspection in Nantong City; • Vehicles must support mobile office functions, emergency power supply, and communications/command capabilities; • Budget capped at approximately RMB 321,000 (per publicly disclosed tender information); • Delivery cycle not exceeding seven days. II. Urgent Tendering Process: From Quotation to Delivery in Just 7 Days On April 11, 2025, the department issued an 'Emergency Supplementary Procurement Service Vehicle' quotation request notice via the Government Procurement Network, requiring suppliers to submit quotations and technical proposals within 48 hours. Upon notification, Mr. Zhang Yue, Sales Manager at Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. (Tel: ), immediately accessed the company’s product database and confirmed that the Ford New Generation V348 chassis-based model was already listed in the MIIT Announcement (Model No.: CLW5040XDWJ6), with ready stock available at Chengli’s Suizhou manufacturing facility.
