Notes:

This is a single source posting notification; there are no solicitation documents for download. Note this posting is not a Request for Bid (RFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP).

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development intends to purchase 1 Life Essentials Pilot Lift with radio control for a John Deere 7420 farm tractor for a VRS client in order to transfer from wheelchair to the lift seat on the ground and raise into their tractor cab and transfer into the driver seat to operate tractor.

This procurement has been determined to be a single source purchase because Life Essentials is the only vendor that can provide this lift because their lift will put the user into the cab to transfer into driver seat. Control interface requires
minimal dexterity, can be converted to joystick control, and the lift seat remains on the lift during operation; no other supplier offers such options to accommodate the required dexterity.

If there are any questions or concerns regarding this single source opportunity, contact Paul Rammer at paul.rammer@state.mn.us before 1/23/2026 at 12:00 PM Central Time. Include the reference number and title of the posting in the subject line. Or you may call the HelpLine at 651.296.2600 (MN Relay Service for persons with speech or hearing disabilities: 711 or 1.800.627.3529) or fax your request to 651.297.3996, ATTN: HelpLine.
