Transportation Supplies, Equipment, and Services

Southwest Independent School District (SWISD) is issuing an RFP to procure transportation‑related supplies, equipment, parts, and associated services (including maintenance and repairs) for its fleet of district vehicles. The solicitation is open to vendors that can provide automotive parts, equipment, and repair services on an “as‑needed” basis; repair‑only vendors are explicitly accepted. Bids must be submitted electronically by 2:00 PM CT on 30 June 2028. The contract will run from the award date through 31 August 2028 and may be awarded to multiple vendors. SWISD will evaluate proposals on price, vendor reputation, quality, fit to district needs, past performance, and long‑term cost. Vendors must complete required certifications (W‑9, non‑collusion, conflict‑of‑interest, etc.) and may be required to provide discounts on list prices. The district may adopt the resulting contract across other member districts of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance. • Scope: parts, equipment, and repair services for school‑district vehicles. • Delivery: optional delivery with or without freight charges; pick‑up also allowed. • Discounts: vendors may submit a discount range (e.g., 0‑20%). • Multiple awards possible; no minimum purchase quantity. • Electronic submission required; paper submissions not accepted. • Evaluation factors include price, reputation, quality, fit, past relationship, and long‑term cost. • Contract term: up to ~5 years (award date to 31 Aug 2028).
