1394B - 2026-27.docx

This is a Vehicle Data Sheet Form SPI 1394-B used by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) in Washington state for school bus quotations. The form serves as a standardized specification document for school bus dealers submitting price quotes to be included on an accepted vendor list that school districts in Washington state may reference when placing direct orders for vehicles. The form is valid for the 2026-27 school year only and captures detailed specifications across three primary categories: body characteristics (manufacturer, model year, overall length, seating capacity, and interior colors), chassis specifications (manufacturer, model year, wheelbase, brake type, axle capacities, and transmission details), and engine specifications (manufacturer, displacement, horsepower, torque, fuel type, and electrical system components including alternator and battery specifications).

This quotation process is non-binding and does not result in direct contracts between OSPI and participating dealers; rather, it produces a published list of accepted price quotes that individual school districts may use as a reference tool for purchasing decisions. The form requires dealers to provide comprehensive technical and warranty information for the vehicles being quoted, enabling school districts to compare specifications and pricing across available options when making independent purchasing decisions.
