Charter Bus Services

The State of Georgia, through Gordon State College, is issuing an electronic Request for Quotes (eRFQ) to procure charter bus services for the state entity. This procurement is conducted pursuant to the State Purchasing Act (Official Code of Georgia Annotated 50-5-50 et seq.) and seeks to establish a contract with one or more qualified suppliers capable of providing comprehensive bus charter services. The primary objective is to identify and select qualified vendors who can reliably deliver charter bus transportation services as outlined in the eRFQ specifications. The posting date for this opportunity is February 8, 2026, with a deadline for submission of responses on February 13, 2026, providing a five-day response window for interested suppliers. While specific evaluation criteria, detailed service requirements, deliverables, and required qualifications are not explicitly detailed in the summary provided, the state will evaluate all submissions received prior to the closing date and publicly announce preliminary results, including participating suppliers and evaluation outcomes, subject to the protest process before final award(s) are announced.

The eRFQ documentation provided does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) requirements, incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requirements that would necessitate vendor integration. Similarly, no budget range or possible award values are disclosed in the available contract opportunity information. Interested suppliers are encouraged to review the complete eRFQ documentation from the State of Georgia to obtain comprehensive details regarding qualifications, evaluation criteria, service specifications, any applicable set-asides or preferences, and contract value information that will inform their bidding decisions.
