Overview: Iowa Department of Administrative Services is seeking bids from dealerships to
provide sport utility vehicles. The vehicle price will be set by the manufacturer, this bid is to
establish a fixed percentage rate above the Triple Net Invoice, including Government
Incentives, for any Government Fleet rate vehicles or off the lot vehicles.
This bid will also establish a per mile rate for delivery.
Awarded vendors will be required to provide an itemized Triple Net Invoice (including Government
Incentives) for each vehicle, for which the percentage service rate will be applied. DAS Fleet will
review the invoice, only upon approval DAS Fleet will issue a purchase order inclusive of the vehicle
and percentage cost.
This request for bids is for manufactures entire line of sport utility vehicles.
DAS reserves the right to award multiple vendors.
A "triple net invoice" is the dealer's true baseline cost, calculated as the gross invoice minus all
hidden manufacturer discounts, holdbacks, and incentives. Government discounts (state fleet
programs) are then applied as a fixed percentage or negative modifier directly to this true net
cost.
Example Breakdown
To see how a triple net calculation works in practice, here is a hypothetical example for a vehicle
like a mid-size commercial SUV with an MSRP of $45,000 and a standard dealer invoice of
$41,800.
1. Calculating the Triple Net Cost
Dealers receive money back from the manufacturer that does not appear on a standard
invoice.
• Gross Dealer Invoice: $41,800
• Less Dealer Holdback (typically 2% to 3% of MSRP): -$1,000
• Less Manufacturer-to-Dealer Incentives/Volume Bonuses: -$1,200
• **Triple Net Cost (True Dealer Cost): $39,600
2. Applying the Government Discount
Government agencies (state/local municipalities) frequently establish master
agreements to purchase vehicles at the exact triple net invoice or a flat percentage
rate below it.
• Government Contract Rate: Triple net invoice -2%
• Discount Amount: $39,600 × 0.02 = -$792

• Final Government Price Paid: $40,008
