About this opportunity
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is soliciting quotes for neoprene air-spring bellows (Firestone part number W01-W35-8279) for front, center, and rear suspension applications, with quotes due September 22, 2026. This solicitation is a set-aside for Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority–approved Small Business Enterprises only.
The scope is a single part number with no substitutions permitted. Quotes must include price, lead time, and part number at the header level; failure to provide all three elements renders the quote non-responsive. Award will be based on best value to Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority across price, lead time, and past performance.
Delivery must be palletized to 46 inches by 46 inches by 42 inches at the Central Maintenance Facility; shipments not conforming to pallet specifications will be rejected. Purchase order number, part number, and quantity must appear on each packing slip; shipments with multiple pallets require an individual packing slip per pallet. Quotes must remain valid for 60 days. Questions or requests for approved equals must be submitted at least three business days before the solicitation closes (by September 19, 2026).
