About this opportunity
The Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District (SMART) is issuing a notice of intent to award a noncompetitive, negotiated purchase order to Cummins Sales and Service for 15 original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wiring harness assemblies, with responses to challenge the sole-source intent due September 10, 2026 by 2:00 p.m. Pacific. This is a sole-source procurement, not a competitive bid solicitation.
The wiring harness assemblies interface between the diesel propulsion module and Cummins diesel engines installed on SMART's Nippon Sharyo diesel multiple unit passenger rail vehicles. SMART states that Cummins Sales and Service is the only authorized provider and dealer able to supply these parts.
The total estimated value is $19,462.29. The district is soliciting responses solely to determine whether alternative suppliers exist who can legally provide the parts; responses will not be treated as bids, quotes, or proposals and will be considered only for the purpose of deciding whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead. Any vendor or supplier believing it can supply the parts is instructed to submit a response by the deadline.
