IFB 64-20 Misc Non Revenue Vehicle Parts

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to solicit proposals from qualified Bidders for the supply and delivery of miscellaneous replacement parts for the Authority's non-revenue vehicles. The contract will cover a three-year period with three optional one-year renewal periods. Bids are due by April 21, 2020, at 2:00 PM EST/EDT, and will not be publicly opened. The successful Bidder will be awarded the contract based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid. The IFB includes detailed pricing forms for the requested goods and services, as well as instructions on the MBTA's standard contract terms and conditions. The MBTA is seeking to establish a contract with a qualified Bidder who can provide the required non-revenue vehicle parts in a timely and cost-effective manner to support the Authority's operations.

The MBTA promotes the participation of certified small, minority, women, and other disadvantaged businesses, and requires the successful Bidder to comply with various state and federal laws and regulations related to employment practices, non-discrimination, and data/information security. The IFB does not explicitly state any set-aside designations, restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, or the existing incumbent vendors or current contractors. The IFB also does not provide any information on the possible award values or budget ranges.
