Big Bus Parts - Misc

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is seeking qualified original equipment manufacturers, authorized dealers, or approved resellers to supply a variety of large bus parts. The award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder that can demonstrate inventory availability, competitive warranty terms, and acceptable lead times. Bidders must provide brand name, model numbers, warranty details (including start dates), and all freight/delivery costs in their pricing. If a non‑requested brand is proposed, it must first be approved as an “OCTA approved equal” using the agency’s approved‑equal process. Bidders are responsible for both direct warranties and any pass‑through warranties from manufacturers. Upon award, OCTA will issue an emailed purchase order which the vendor must acknowledge within 24 hours and meet guaranteed delivery dates for each line item; failure to comply can result in order cancellation and re‑procurement fees. • Must be OEM, authorized dealer, or approved reseller for each part. • Provide best price, warranty terms, lead time, freight & delivery costs. • Non‑requested brands require prior “approved‑equal” approval. • Lowest responsive, responsible bidder wins; warranty quality may affect ranking. • Purchase order confirmation required within 24 hours; strict delivery dates apply.
