The California Department of Transportation awarded a Non-Information Technology Goods contract to Parts Authority LLC on February 9, 2026, with a contract value of $1,078.04. The contract covers the procurement of automotive engine and cooling system components for what appears to be fleet maintenance operations. The line items include a new radiator assembly for a 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty with a 6.8-liter engine, multiple radiator and coolant hoses from manufacturers including Gates and NAPA, a water pump, various gaskets and seals, thermostat components, spark plugs, and gasket kits designed for Ford vehicles. The completion date is identical to the award date of February 9, 2026, indicating this was a spot purchase or expedited delivery arrangement.

The contract encompasses essential powertrain and cooling system replacement parts that suggest maintenance or repair work on heavy-duty Ford vehicles within the state's transportation fleet. The component specifications—including Denso radiators, Motorcraft spark plugs, and FEL-PRO gasket products—indicate procurement of original or quality equivalent manufacturer parts. While the specific location of performance is not identified in the contract documentation, the award to a California-based contractor for a state transportation department suggests the work supports California's vehicle fleet operations and maintenance requirements.
