SORTA is soliciting quotes for 34 line items consisting of various mechanical and electrical components including tank assemblies, valves, sensors, belts, clips, hoses, and gaskets. The quantities requested range from 1 to 30 units per item, with total line items spanning components for Cummins engines, Thermo King units, fire detection systems, and structural elements. The RFQ was released on August 17, 2026, with a response deadline of August 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. All bids must be submitted electronically through SORTA's e-Procurement Portal at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/go-metro.

All pricing must be all-inclusive, with freight charges incorporated into the quoted unit costs. Bidders are required to note lead times in days in the Notes column of the bid pricing form, reflecting the time necessary to fulfill the entire delivered quantity for each line item. If substituting non-OEM parts or alternative part numbers, bidders must reference the replacement part number in the format (RM#######). Core fees, if applicable, must be entered in the Notes field. Quotes must remain valid for 30 days from submission. Bids received in formats other than the designated e-Procurement Portal pricing table will be considered non-responsive. Bidders who do not carry specific parts should select "no bid" for those items. SORTA reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids in their entirety or in part and will evaluate bids based on bidder responsibility factors including character, integrity, past performance, financial capability, technical qualifications, and compliance with applicable regulations and public policies.
