About this opportunity

This is a restricted-eligibility procurement — only SBE-certified vendors may respond.

The scope is a kit comprising king pins and steering knuckles (left and right) for low-floor axles. The approved manufacturer is Meritor, part number R201424; no substitutes are permitted. Vendors must quote the exact part number, provide pricing and lead time, and enter all required information at the header level of the solicitation in the "Note to Buyer" section.

Award basis is best value to LACMTA, evaluated on price, lead time, and past performance. Questions or requests for approved equals must be submitted at least three business days prior to solicitation close. Quotes must remain valid for 60 days. Delivery requires the purchase order number and part number on all packing slips.
