About this opportunity

Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) is soliciting quotes for a plate assembly base entrance door component (METRO P/N 188780) with quotes due August 18, 2026, under a set-aside restricted to Metro-approved Small Business Enterprises only.

The part is Vapor-Wabco approved manufacturer number 51540106-01 with no substitutions permitted. This is a single-source specification that narrows the vendor pool to the approved manufacturer and SBE-qualified distributors or resellers.

All 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. Award will be based on best value to LACMTA considering price, lead time, and past performance. Quotes must remain valid for 60 days. Questions or requests for approved equals must be submitted at least three business days prior to solicitation close (by August 15, 2026).

Delivery to LACMTA's Central Maintenance Facility must include the purchase order number and part number on the packing slip along with quantity. Palletized deliveries must conform to 46 inches by 46 inches by 42 inches pallet dimensions; non-conforming shipments will be rejected. When a delivery spans multiple pallets, each pallet requires its own individual packing slip bearing the PO number.
