The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School District is soliciting sealed bids for the sale of two surplus 2016 Bluebird school buses, with all vehicles being sold in their current “as-is” condition on a final sale basis. Bidders are required to submit separate bids per vehicle in sealed envelopes addressed to the School Business Administrator by October 9, 2025, before 4:15 PM EST, either via mail or through a secure drop box at 4 Pine Street, Vineyard Haven, MA. Inspection of the buses is available strictly by appointment through the Transportation Manager, and successful bidders must remove the vehicles from the district’s property by October 23, 2025. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids without obligation. The procurement process emphasizes transparency and finality, with no warranties or guarantees provided, and no additional specifications or standards specified beyond the inspection and removal deadlines. The contract does not incorporate any federal, state, or local FAR clauses or standard contractual provisions, relying solely on the explicit terms outlined in the bid invitation. Supporting documents are obtainable via email request, and the process emphasizes sealed bid submission, with the primary evaluation criterion being the bid price per vehicle. The process is straightforward, with no mention of complex evaluation factors, contractual clauses, or special packaging and marking requirements, underscoring a simple sale of surplus property governed by the explicit instructions and deadlines provided.
