The Greater Bridgeport Transportation Authority (GBTA) has initiated a procurement opportunity for diesel fuel to support its public transit bus fleet in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Solicitation No. 30161 is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) open to all vendors, with a bid period running from May 14, 2025, at 7:00 AM EDT to May 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT. A vendor Q&A period is established from May 14, 2025, at 7:15 AM EDT to May 20, 2025, at 12:00 PM EDT, during which potential bidders can seek clarification. The procurement will be conducted with Free On Board Destination delivery terms, with payment terms to be specified by the vendor. The primary contact for this bid is Meryem Belhasan, who can be reached at mbelhasan@gogbt.com or at 1 Cross Street, Bridgeport, CT 06610. While the solicitation does not provide detailed line items or specific evaluation criteria, it appears to be a straightforward procurement process seeking competitive bids for diesel fuel to maintain the GBTA's public transit operations.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requirements for fuel integration. Similarly, the document does not specify a precise budget range or potential award value for the diesel fuel procurement. The open nature of the bid suggests that multiple vendors may be considered, with the selection likely based on competitive pricing, delivery capabilities, and ability to meet the GBTA's fuel requirements for its bus fleet. Interested vendors should carefully review the full solicitation document and be prepared to submit comprehensive bids that address the transportation authority's fuel procurement needs.
