About this opportunity
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) is soliciting quotes for blue waffle towels under a set-aside for Metro-approved small business enterprises (SBEs) only, with quotes due August 11, 2026. This is a restrictive procurement limited to certified SBEs; non-SBEs are ineligible.
The specification is a single approved manufacturer item: Peerless Materials Company model N60320, with no approved substitutes 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.
Award will be based on best value to Metro considering price, lead time, and past performance. Delivery is confined to CMF locations and must be palletized to a 46×46×42 pallet standard; shipments exceeding that specification will be rejected. Each pallet must carry its own packing slip listing the purchase order number, part number, and quantity. Quote validity is 60 days from submission. Questions or requests for approved equals must be submitted at least three business days before the solicitation closes (by August 8, 2026).
