About this opportunity
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is requesting quotes for 2-ply unperforated toilet tissue under a set-aside restricted to Metro-approved Small Business Enterprises only, with quotes due October 20, 2026.
The solicitation mandates a single approved manufacturer and part number: Kimberly-Clark Corporation, model KC7827. No substitutions are permitted. Quotes must include price, lead time, and part number at the header level of the solicitation; failure to provide all three elements renders the quote non-responsive.
Metro will select the quote offering best value based on price, lead time, and past performance. Delivery requirements specify that purchase order number, part number, and quantity appear on all packing slips; multi-pallet shipments must include individual packing slips per pallet. Palletized deliveries to CMF (Central Material Facility) must conform to 46×46×42 pallet dimensions or face rejection.
Questions or requests for approved equals must be submitted at least three business days prior to solicitation close. Quote validity period is 60 days from submission.
