Gillig CTR010076

SUNY Stony Brook is seeking to procure two additional Diesel 40' Low-Floor Transit Buses through a piggyback procurement method under Contract CTR010076, as approved by the New York State Office of General Services. The procurement is consistent with New York State Finance Law Article 11, Section 163(10)(e), which allows for leveraging existing contracts. The specific procurement involves acquiring two transit buses from GILLIG, with a contract term of one year spanning all New York State counties, with the primary location being Stony Brook University. The procurement appears to be a direct acquisition with no apparent competitive bidding process, utilizing an existing contract vehicle. The due date for this procurement is January 9, 2025, at 8:00 AM, with the posting date being December 17, 2024. The procurement specifically targets the acquisition of transit buses, likely to support university transportation infrastructure or public transit needs.

This procurement opportunity does not include any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, with zero percentage goals for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Minority-Owned, Women-Owned, or Disadvantaged business subcontracting. GILLIG appears to be the incumbent and proposed vendor, having been awarded similar procurement contracts within the past five years. The jurisdictions potentially impacted include Suffolk County and Syracuse City, though the procurement is technically open to all New York State counties. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the procurement involves the purchase of two diesel transit buses, which typically represent a significant capital investment in municipal or university transportation infrastructure. The procurement method of piggybacking suggests potential cost efficiencies by leveraging an existing state-approved contract structure.
