Vehicle Purchasing

Vehicle Purchasing

September 2018 UPDATE: 2019 pricing now available! The current MiDEAL Vehicle List is now updated with 2019 pricing.  For vehicles not on this list which were on before, the dealership did not rollover pricing to the 2019 prices, therefore the buyer will need to put these specs out to bid.  2019 pricing for these vehicles will be available in early October 2018.

Local government looking to save money on vehicle purchases? State of Michigan Procurement can help with the MiDEAL Vehicle Purchasing program! With MiDEAL you can leverage the buying power of the state and get State of Michigan pricing on vehicles and other equipment.

MiDEAL is a cooperative purchasing program that allows government units to buy from the state's contracts. Our expert buyers have done all the work for you; contracts, pricing, and conditions are already in place. Info on how to buy and the comprehensive MiDEAL Vehicle List are available below.

How To Purchase Vehicles With MiDEAL

If you are a MiDEAL member the process for purchasing is:

Find Your Vehicle

Find Your Desired Vehicles on the MiDEAL Vehicle Spreadsheet. Check the MiDEAL Vehicle Spreadsheet below and locate the vehicle(s) you want to buy. Truck body, heavy duty truck chassis, winter maintenance truck build-up, and tire purchases are also available. More info is available below.

Make note of the price, Spec. No. and Awarded Dealer. The MiDEAL Vehicle Spreadsheet includes all relevant pricing info including any applicable delivery costs.

Review the Spec Sheet

Note the specification number once you select your vehicle(s). Then go to the spec book for detailed specification information. The spec book is in numerical order. State of Michigan Procurement encourage reviewing the Spec Sheet before you purchase. This ensures the vehicles chosen have the options and standard equipment you want; State of Michigan specifications do not always match factory packages.

Purchase the Vehicle From Awarded Dealer

To purchase a vehicle through the MiDEAL program, contact the dealer listed on the spreadsheet directly. Vehicles are purchased directly from dealers listed on the MiDEAL Vehicle Spreadsheet. Dealer contact info is available below.
