Quantities range from 1 to 20 units per item, with a total of 152 units across all line items. The RFQ was released on August 5, 2026, with responses due electronically through the e-Procurement Portal by August 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. All bids must be submitted in the specified electronic format; bids submitted in alternative formats will be considered non-responsive. David Drummonds, Supply Chain Coordinator, serves as the primary contact for inquiries.

All pricing must be all-inclusive and include freight charges. Lead times must be specified in days in the notes field of the bid pricing form to reflect the time required to fulfill the entire delivered quantity. If quoting non-OEM or substitute parts, bidders must identify the replacement part number in the specified format. Core fees, if applicable, must also be noted in the pricing table. Quotes are valid for 30 days from submission. Award will be made to the responsive bidder submitting the lowest price, contingent upon bidder responsibility criteria including financial resources, past performance, technical capability, organizational capacity, and compliance with Federal Transit Administration requirements, affirmative action standards, and applicable licensing and tax regulations.

Failure to meet the quality requirements of a contract is a significant factor to consider in determining satisfactory performance.
