RFQ 5446 Inventory parts

Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ 5446) for a broad list of inventory parts needed to maintain its transit fleet. Vendors must submit pricing—including freight—through the agency’s e‑procurement portal, indicate lead time in days, and note any core fees. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation also considering vendor integrity, financial capacity, and compliance with applicable regulations. • RFQ 5446 covers dozens of specific catalog‑numbered parts (bolts, hoses, sensors, clamps, etc.). • All quotes must be all‑inclusive (price + freight) and include lead‑time in the “Notes” column. • Submissions are electronic only via https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/go-metro. • Release date: September 18 2026; submission deadline: September 21 2026 11:00 AM. • Vendor questionnaire requires confirmation that pricing is all‑inclusive, valid for 30 days, lead‑time noted, and any core fee disclosed. • Evaluation criteria: lowest responsive price plus responsibility factors (integrity, debarment status, financial resources, past performance, etc.). • No pre‑bid meeting or site visit is required.
