Autoridad Metropolitana De Autobuses

Autoridad Metropolitana De Autobuses, a Puerto Rico state transit authority operating the public bus system serving the San Juan metropolitan area, functions as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and as a prime contractor providing parking facilities and services to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The entity is a U.S. government agency structured as a child entity of the Puerto Rico Commonwealth and does not hold SBA set-aside designations or compete under set-aside vehicles.

The vendor's federal footprint centers almost entirely on FTA formula grants for transit operations and capital projects. Over the past five years, Autoridad Metropolitana De Autobuses has received multiple FTA formula grants totaling over $80 million in combined value, including a $26.876 million operating-assistance reimbursement grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded February 23, 2026, for salaries, fringe benefits, and fuel expenses covering fiscal years 2025 and 2026; a $29.105 million Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) grant awarded January 21, 2022, for payroll recovery; and project grants for fleet modernization and clean-transit initiatives. A May 2024 project grant funds the purchase of six battery-electric buses and construction of dual solar-powered charging infrastructure, with an amendment (July 2026) expanding scope to include ten replacement hybrid buses for regular-route fleet modernization. A September 2023 formula grant supports acquisition of fixed-route replacement buses and eight paratransit vehicles for the Llame Y Viaje program serving ADA populations. The vendor also holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Veterans Integrated Service Network 8, established August 1, 2025, with a $2.63 million ceiling through July 31, 2029, for parking facility services supporting the VA Caribbean Healthcare System in San Juan; a $173,760 firm fixed-price BPA call was awarded under this vehicle on the same date. The vendor received a sub-grant award dated April 12, 2022, under the Puerto Rico Commonwealth's Governor's Authorized Representative (Oficina Del Gobernador) for disaster recovery projects (PW-1134).

Customer concentration is dominated by the Federal Transit Administration (28 awards across the portfolio) with the Department of Veterans Affairs (3 awards, $3 million combined potential value) representing the only non-FTA prime customer activity. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and Environmental Protection Agency account for three and one award respectively. Six awards totaling $174 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. The vendor does not hold a position on multi-agency GWACs or GSA Schedules; work is performed exclusively in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and operates under no federal contract vehicle beyond the single-award VA BPA. The top capability concentration by NAICS and PSC reflects three parking-facility awards, while the vast majority of federal spending and award count traces to FTA transit operations grants and capital project funding with no subcontract footprint beyond the single sub-grant relationship.
