DCKA-2014-FTA 16 passenger bus

The District of Columbia has issued a state and local contract opportunity (ID: 66c85ccc829eb5d8690742c0) for procurement of a 16-passenger bus, designated as DCKA-2014-FTA. This procurement appears to be focused on transportation vehicle acquisition, specifically for public transit or municipal fleet purposes. The contract was publicly posted on March 3, 2014, with a proposal submission deadline of March 25, 2014. While detailed specifications are limited in the provided information, the procurement seems to be targeting a specific bus configuration with a 16-passenger capacity, potentially for use by municipal agencies, transit authorities, or public service departments. The solicitation likely requires potential vendors to submit comprehensive proposals demonstrating compliance with technical specifications, delivery capabilities, and potentially meeting federal transit administration (FTA) standards for public transportation vehicles.

Given the limited information provided, specific details about set-aside designations, vendor restrictions, or incumbent contractors cannot be definitively stated. However, municipal vehicle procurements often include preferences for local businesses, disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs), or small business concerns. The procurement may have budget constraints or specific funding sources, potentially involving federal transit administration (FTA) grant funds, which could influence vendor eligibility and procurement requirements. Without additional documentation, the potential award value or budget range remains undetermined. Interested vendors would need to carefully review the full solicitation documents to understand complete qualification criteria, technical requirements, submission guidelines, and any specific integration requirements for the proposed 16-passenger bus.
