RFQ 5444 Inventory parts

The Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ 5444) for the supply of a detailed list of inventory parts needed to maintain its transit fleet. Vendors must submit pricing, freight costs, lead‑time (in days), and any applicable core fees through the agency’s e‑procurement portal. The RFQ includes 71 distinct part numbers ranging from O‑rings and shims to fuel pumps, turbochargers, and brake components. Bids are evaluated primarily on price, but SORTA will also consider bidder responsibility factors such as financial stability, past performance, and compliance with federal and state regulations. The deadline for electronic submission is September 16, 2026 at 11:00 AM. • Must use the provided electronic Bid Pricing Form; paper submissions are non‑responsive. • All quoted prices must be all‑inclusive (shipping, taxes, core fees). • Lead‑time must be entered in the “Notes” column in days for the full delivered quantity. • If a part is not stocked, vendors should mark “no bid.” • Evaluation criteria include price, bidder integrity, licensing, financial resources, and ability to meet delivery schedules.
