IFB # 251-27-140 - transynd transmission fluid

Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) Transportation Department is requesting bids on Transynd synthetic transmission fluid in 275-gallon totes for use in Allison transmissions on WCPSS buses during the 2026-2027 school year under IFB # 251-27-140, with proposals due July 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. Bidders must provide an Allison TES-668 number certification — the controlling specification that ensures warranty coverage and limits responsive bidders to Allison-approved transmission fluids only.

WCPSS estimates a need of approximately 900 gallons (or roughly three totes), ordered on an as-needed basis under a term contract with no guaranteed minimum or maximum purchase quantities. Pricing must be firm through June 30, 2027, with the option for WCPSS to extend pricing for up to three additional one-year increments. All shipping and delivery charges must be included on an FOB basis to 1551 Rock Quarry Road, Building F, Raleigh, North Carolina 27610; sales tax is excluded from the quote.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive bid considering pricing, quality, experience, and specification conformity. WCPSS reserves the right to make a single or multiple awards if deemed advantageous. Bids are valid for 45 days from opening unless otherwise specified.

Questions must be submitted by July 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET, with WCPSS responses provided by July 15. Sealed proposals must be physically delivered to the address above.

The successful vendor must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million, Commercial Automobile Liability of $1 million, and Workers Compensation as required by North Carolina law, and must conduct sexual offender registry checks on all contractual personnel prior to service delivery. The contract is subject to Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 C.F.R. Part 200), Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment compliance, and debarment certification.
