Department-Owned Vehicles

Drivers of Department-owned vehicles must follow their department’s procedures for providing a purchase order number and billing address to the vendor at the time of service. Departments should be billed directly by the vendor and are responsible for any payment or follow-up required to complete the transaction.

OVM Lease Program

If a vehicle is enrolled in the OVM Lease Program, tire replacement is covered for the length of the lease. Drivers should visit the most appropriate VEH120 authorized dealer and instruct them to contact OVM at (617) 720-3154 prior to the start of any work. An OVM representative will review proposed repairs and issue a purchase order for payment. Note: Tires damaged due to negligence or neglect are the responsibility of the leasing agency.

Individual Agencies/Departments may have additional processes to follow. Check with your Agency Fleet Manager.

Tires: Tire repair and replacement are handled by vendors on Statewide Contract VEH120 Tires, Tubes and Services (currently Goodyear and Bridgestone). To purchase tires, take the vehicle to any authorized dealer. A list of authorized dealers may be found within the corresponding MBPO:
