About this opportunity

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) is soliciting quotes for an inverter control box (Thermo King model TEA15-M2, METRO P/N 188494) with quotes due October 8, 2026 — this is a set-aside for METRO Approved Small Business Enterprises (SBE) only, closing the procurement to all other vendors.

The specification is single-source: Thermo King Corporation approved manufacturer number 45-2989. No substitutes are permitted. Respondents must provide price, lead time, and part number at the header level of the solicitation; failure to include all three elements renders the quote non-responsive.

Award is based on best value to METRO using three factors: price, lead time, and past performance. Questions or requests for approved equals must be submitted at least three business days prior to close of solicitation (by October 3, 2026).

Delivery to CMF (Central Maintenance Facility) must comply with specific packing requirements: the purchase order number, part number, and quantity must appear on the packing slip; multi-pallet shipments require an individual packing slip on each pallet; all pallets must conform to 46×46×42-inch dimensions or face rejection. Quotes must remain valid for 60 days from opening.
