The contract is intended to be awarded for a term ranging from six months up to twenty-four months, depending on the agency’s needs and circumstances.

The procurement process was initiated with a solicitation posted on October 20, 2025, with a response deadline set for October 27, 2025. The contract size is estimated to be between $50,000 and $200,000, and the project falls under the jurisdiction of the Kentucky office of the Transit Authority of River City. The agency emphasizes that this is a sole source procurement, indicating that they believe Cummins is uniquely qualified to fulfill this specific need without competitive bidding.
