CSU Charter and Shuttle Bus Services

The California State University (CSU) system is soliciting proposals through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for qualified firms to provide charter bus services and/or shuttle bus services on a per-request basis to all CSU campuses. Bidders may propose charter bus services, shuttle bus services (including 12 to 15 passenger vehicle services), or a combination of all three service types. The primary objective is to establish a flexible, on-demand transportation solution that serves the diverse needs of the CSU system across multiple locations. Interested suppliers must register through the CSU Public Bid Portal and access all bid documents through that platform at https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/doing-business-with-the-csu/contract-services-and-procurement/supplier-resources/Pages/default.aspx. The proposal posting date was March 13, 2026, with a submission deadline of April 3, 2026. Qualified firms should possess demonstrated experience in providing charter and shuttle bus transportation services to large public institutions, though specific experience requirements are not detailed in the available summary information.

The opportunity description does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, women-owned businesses, or other protected categories, nor does it identify incumbent vendors or current contractors. No information regarding existing infrastructure, technology integration requirements, or award value ranges is provided in the summary materials. Potential bidders should consult the complete bid documents available in the CSU Public Bid Portal for comprehensive details regarding evaluation criteria, performance requirements, pricing structures, and any applicable preferences or restrictions. The CSU has indicated that no further information will be posted to the Fiscal portal, making the official bid portal the sole source for updates and clarifications throughout the procurement process.
