How Government Agencies Buy From Curry
Every agency has its own purchasing rules. Our job is to work within yours. We work with government buyers on:
- Formal bids and RFQs: send your bid package or request for quote to fleet@curryautocenter.com or to any member of our team.
- Quotes for smaller purchases: request a written quote for a specific vehicle or configuration.
- Vehicle selection and ordering: if the right vehicle is not in stock, our team helps you specify and order it.
- Titling and paperwork: Tami Hanna, our Fleet & Titling Manager, coordinates titling for fleet purchases.
Tell us your agency's purchasing requirements and deadlines when you reach out, and we will respond in the format your process requires.
Police and Public Safety Vehicles

Work Trucks and Municipal Vehicles
Public works, parks, utilities, inspections and administrative departments each need different vehicles. Our team helps agencies match Chevrolet work trucks and vans to the job each department does, and plan purchases around budget cycles.

Keeping Public Vehicles in Service
Agencies in and around Bloomington are welcome to service their vehicles in our shop. Our service department operates 22 lifts, including one rated at 20,000 pounds, and our technicians hold 86 combined ASE and GM factory certifications, including diesel. Fleet Solutions clients may also qualify for a loaner vehicle when a unit needs in-shop service, subject to availability and driver and insurance requirements.
Agencies outside the Bloomington area can still use our maintenance management program to schedule, approve and track service at approved repair facilities near their vehicles. Learn about fleet maintenance management.
Budgeting, Fuel and Billing
Public fleets answer to budgets and to taxpayers. Our fleet programs help agencies see and control the full cost of each vehicle:
- Fuel cards with purchase controls and reporting by driver and vehicle. Learn about fleet fuel cards.
- Consolidated billing through a fleet line of credit, with maintenance, fuel and vehicle payments on one statement, itemized by VIN.
- Replacement planning that uses maintenance and fuel data to show when replacing a vehicle costs less than repairing it. Learn about vehicle lifecycle planning.
