Vehicle Filters

The Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IPTC), located in Marion County, Indiana, is seeking a vendor to supply vehicle filters for its fleet through a Request for Information (RFI) numbered 25-08-556. The procurement specifically requires Fleetguard brand filters for diesel vehicles with Cummins engines, with no equivalent alternatives accepted. The awarded vendor must be prepared to supply filters on an as-needed basis, with quantities varying based on current equipment in use and adapting to potential fleet changes. Submission of quotes is mandated through the Bonfire online hub (https://indygo.bonfirehub.com/portal/) with a strict deadline of 2:00 PM EST on October 3, 2025. Vendors must complete all quote sections, upload required documentation, and acknowledge the addendum using the provided Acknowledgment of Addenda Form, with failure to do so potentially resulting in disqualification. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed price agreement covering the initial term and all option years, emphasizing the critical requirement of using Cummins-authorized Fleetguard filters to maintain engine integrity.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the precise filter specifications. The contract does not indicate any preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participation. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements. The documentation does not specify a precise award value or budget range for the filter procurement. The solicitation suggests that the contract value will fluctuate based on IPTC's evolving fleet needs and the variable quantities of filters required over the contract's duration. Vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive filter inventory that can be adjusted dynamically to support IPTC's operational requirements, with a clear focus on supplying genuine Fleetguard products specifically designed for Cummins engines.
