RFQ 5425 Inventory parts

Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) is requesting quotations for 34 line items of inventory parts to support transit operations under RFQ 5425, with quotes due August 18, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. — a same-day deadline. All bids must be submitted electronically through SORTA's e-Procurement Portal at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/go-metro; bids in other formats will be considered non-responsive.

The scope encompasses mechanical and electrical components for Cummins engines, Thermo King units, fire detection systems, and structural elements, with quantities ranging from 1 to 30 units per line item. Components include tank assemblies, valves, sensors, belts, clips, hoses, and gaskets. All pricing must be all-inclusive of freight. Bidders must note lead times in days in the Notes column of the bid pricing form, reflecting the time required to fulfill the entire delivered quantity for each line item. If quoting non-OEM parts or alternative part numbers, bidders must reference the replacement part number in format (RM#######). Core fees, if applicable, must be entered in the Notes field. Quotes must remain valid for 30 days from submission.

SORTA will award to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, evaluating based on bidder responsibility factors including character, integrity, past performance, financial capability, technical qualifications, and compliance with applicable regulations and public policies. SORTA reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids in their entirety or in part.
