The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) under the 2022 Transit Bus Program to BYD Coach And Bus LLC, doing business as Ride Coach And Bus, for the delivery of medium and heavy transit buses in various configurations including diesel, compressed natural gas, hybrid-electric, and battery-electric, ranging from 40-60 feet in length. The multiple award IDC has a potential value of $49.9 million and is not set aside for any socioeconomic categories. Under this IDC, GSA has issued firm-fixed-price delivery orders to BYD Coach And Bus LLC for the provision of 40-foot, 34-passenger, low-floor battery-electric transit buses, with individual contract values ranging from $659,104.02 to $910,060.57. BYD Coach And Bus LLC will manufacture the buses at their facility in Lancaster, California for delivery between September 2023 and March 2026.
The original solicitation invited interested vendors to participate in the AutoStandards process to refine the government's technical requirements for the transit buses. Vendors were required to request AutoStandards accounts and submit proposed vehicle models by May 17, 2021 in order to be considered for award. The solicitation did not include any set-aside designations, and GSA anticipated awarding multiple contracts under the 2022 Transit Bus Program to cover the procurement of several hundred transit buses over a five-year period.
