About this opportunity

Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) is soliciting quotes for a driver's heater/defroster fresh air filter for buses 5600–5850 under a set-aside for Metro-approved Small Business Enterprises (SBE) only, with quotes due September 22, 2026.

LACMTA's SBE set-aside restricts eligibility to vendors holding Metro SBE approval. The scope is a single part — filter Metro P/N 188216 — with Mobile Climate Control identified as the approved manufacturer under approved MFR #23-0657. No substitution is permitted.

Award will be based on best value to LACMTA using three factors: price, lead time, and past performance. All quotes must include price, lead time, and part number at the solicitation header in the Note to Buyer section; failure to provide all three elements renders the quote non-responsive. Quote validity is 60 days. Questions or requests for approved equals must be submitted at least three business days prior to the close of solicitation (by September 19, 2026).

Delivery must conform to specified requirements: the purchase order number must appear on packing slips along with part number and quantity. For multi-pallet shipments (CMF deliveries only), each pallet requires its own individual packing slip with the PO number. Palletized deliveries must conform to 46×46×42 inch pallet size or the shipment will be rejected.
