RFQ 5465 Inventory parts

Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) is requesting quotations for 21 line items of inventory parts for transit vehicle operations under RFQ 5465, with quotes due October 15, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. All bids must be submitted electronically through the e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/go-metro; bids in other formats will be considered non-responsive.

The scope covers dipsticks, solenoids, sensors, filters, and various mechanical components for transit vehicles including Gillig low-floor buses and Delco engines, with quantities ranging from one to twenty units per line item. Bidders must quote OEM or exact part numbers as specified; alternative part numbers must be identified in the format (RM#######). All pricing must include freight charges and be entered in the designated pricing table within the portal. Lead times must be stated in days only, reflecting the time required to fulfill the entire delivered quantity, and must appear in the Notes column; stock quotes still require a lead-time entry. Any core fees must be entered separately in the Notes field. Quotes are valid for 30 days from submission.

SORTA will award to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid and reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids in whole or in part. Award decisions will consider bidder responsibility factors including character, integrity, past performance record, financial resources, technical capability, compliance with licensing and tax laws, and ability to meet delivery schedules.

David Drummonds, Supply Chain Coordinator, is the primary contact for inquiries.
