About this opportunity

Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is soliciting quotes for a key-operated switch assembly (RTD 1) under a small-business prime set-aside restricted to Metro-approved small-business enterprises (SBEs), with quotes due July 23, 2026.

This is a single-source procurement: the approved manufacturer is TransMed Systems, part number RTD-1, with no substitutions permitted. Metro P/N is 172382.

Quotes must include price, lead time, and part number at the solicitation header level; failure to provide all three elements renders a quote non-responsive. Award will be based on best value to Metro considering price, lead time, and past performance. Questions or requests for approved equals must be submitted at least three business days prior to close (by July 20, 2026).

Quote validity must extend 60 days. Delivery to the Central Maintenance Facility must be palletized to 46×46×42-inch dimensions; non-conforming shipments will be rejected. Packing slips must include the purchase-order number, part number, and quantity; multi-pallet shipments require individual packing slips on each pallet.

The component is exempted from California sales and use tax under rail-car and component-parts provisions; a tax-exemption letter is attached to the solicitation.
