Description

James Madison University (JMU) is seeking qualified vendors to supply new compact motorcoach buses on an as‑needed basis. The procurement will be conducted under a cooperative agreement that may also be utilized by other locations within the Virginia Higher Education Procurement Consortium (VHEPC). This opportunity is ideal for manufacturers or distributors of motorcoach vehicles who can meet the specifications and delivery requirements outlined by JMU. • Provide compact motorcoach buses — vehicles suited for campus transportation, shuttle services, and regional travel. • The contract will be awarded on a sealed‑proposal basis; proposals must be submitted by the close date (May 19, 2026). • Vendors must be capable of delivering buses that meet JMU’s safety, accessibility, and performance standards. • The agreement is cooperative, allowing other VHEPC members to use the same buses, potentially increasing order volume. • No explicit quantity or pricing details are disclosed; bidders should prepare cost proposals based on JMU’s anticipated fleet needs.

Budget estimate

$200,000 – $1,000,000

Given the nature of the procurement—compact motorcoach buses—each unit is likely to cost between $200,000 and $500,000 depending on specifications, options, and quantity. Assuming JMU may request anywhere from one to several buses, the total contract value could range from a few hundred thousand dollars up to around $1 million. This estimate reflects typical market pricing for similar-sized transit buses and accounts for potential volume discounts or additional service requirements.
