This solicitation, RFQ-PRC27-07242026, is a request for quotes for miscellaneous bus parts issued by the Procurement Department of Omnitrans in California, funded by the Federal Transit Administration under the U.S. Department of Transportation. Quotes must be submitted electronically via Omnitrans’ Online Bidding System by July 28, 2026, and remain valid for 30 days with no guarantee of usage or award. Bidders are required to provide unit pricing that includes all costs except sales tax, core charges, and shipping/freight, with prices stated as FOB destination. Unit prices take precedence over total calculations, and errors in pricing will not be disallowed. Bidders must disclose any core charges in comments and comply with lead times specified for each line item if awarded. Awards may be split among the lowest responsive, responsible bidders based on inventory availability and overall benefit to Omnitrans. All purchase orders issued under this RFQ will incorporate Omnitrans’ Standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, and awarded vendors must confirm receipt within 24 hours; failure to meet lead times may result in order cancellation. The contract is subject to extensive federal regulatory compliance, including the Davis-Bacon Act requiring payment of prevailing wages and submission of weekly certified payroll records, the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, Buy America provisions for materials, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation goals of 1% of contract value. Contractors must also comply with civil rights requirements under Title VI, ADA accessibility standards, environmental regulations including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, seismic safety standards under 49 CFR Part 41, and whistleblower protections. All contract records are subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act, and contractors are prohibited from engaging in lobbying activities or making campaign contributions during the bid and contract period. Deliveries must be made to Omnitrans’ receiving department in San Bernardino, CA, with packing slips including the purchase order number, item description, and part number accompanying each shipment. All invoices, shipping notices, and correspondence must clearly display the purchase order number. Bonding requirements mandate a 5% bid guarantee and 100% performance and payment bonds. The solicitation does not specify a contract value due to the absence of line-item pricing or quantity data, and there is no guaranteed volume. No formal contracting officer or technical representative contact information is provided, but oversight responsibilities lie with Omnitrans and the Federal Transit Administration, which retains audit and compliance
