About this file

This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) for inventory parts required to support transit operations. The RFQ solicits pricing for sixty-two line items encompassing engine components, seals, gaskets, sensors, hoses, tubes, and various structural and electrical parts for transit buses, including items compatible with ISL engines and Gillig bus models. The RFQ was released on October 7, 2026, with responses required by October 8, 2026, at 11:00 am, submitted electronically through SORTA's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/go-metro. Quantities range from one to twenty-five units per line item, with total quantities varying significantly across parts. Award will be made to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive price. No site visits or bidders' conferences are mentioned in the solicitation.

All pricing must be all-inclusive of freight charges and delivered to the specified location. Bidders must note lead times in days required to fulfill the entire delivered quantity for each part in the NOTES column of the bid pricing form. If substituting non-OEM parts, bidders must identify the replacement part number in the format (RM#######). Any applicable core fees must be documented in the NOTES field. Quotes are valid for thirty days from submission. Bids received in formats other than the specified e-Procurement Portal pricing table will be considered non-responsive. The bidder's responsibility will be evaluated based on character, integrity, past performance, financial resources, technical capability, compliance with applicable licensing and tax regulations, DBE and affirmative action compliance, and ability to meet delivery schedules. Contact for inquiries is David Drummonds, Supply Chain Coordinator, at ddrummonds@go-metro.com or (513) 632-7548.

2.3. Late Bids

Any bid that is received after the exact time specified is “late” and will not be considered, unless:

1. It was not received or properly allocated by the e-Procurement Portal due to circumstances beyond the control of the Bidder.

2. An emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal processes, so that bids cannot be received for receipt by the exact time specified in the solicitation and urgent SORTA requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation closing date, the time specified for receipt of bids will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which the receiving office is open to the Bidders.

2.4. Award

https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/go-metro https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/go-metro

5. The bidder has the necessary organization, experience, accounting, and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them, in compliance with 49 U.S.C. Section 5325(j)(2)(D) or as required in the Work Scope to perform the service or work;

▪ Adequate Past Experience. Past experience in carrying out similar work with particular attention to management approach, staffing, timeliness, technical success, budgetary controls, and other specialized considerations as described in the recipient’s solicitation, and

▪ Any Past Deficiencies Not the Fault of the Bidder.

Past failure to apply sufficient tenacity, perseverance, and effort to perform acceptably is strong evidence of non-responsibility. Failure to meet the quality requirements of a contract is a significant factor to consider in determining satisfactory performance.

11. The Bidder’s compliance with contract terms;

12. Such other information as may be secured having a bearing on whether the bidder is responsible and has submitted a responsive bid.
