RFQ 5467 Inventory parts

RFQ 5467 is a solicitation issued by the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) for the procurement of various inventory parts, including sensors, hose assemblies, panels, and joint assemblies. The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder who submits the lowest responsive price. Bidders must be submitted exclusively through the e-Procurement portal by October 19, 2026, at 3:00 PM. To be considered responsive, suppliers must use the portal's pricing table, ensure all quotes are valid for 30 days, and include all freight and shipping charges within the unit price. Critical submission requirements include noting lead times in days only within the notes column and specifying any core fees in the same field. If quoting a non-OEM part, bidders must use the specific format (RM########) in the lead time notes. Evaluation for responsibility extends beyond price to include the bidder's integrity, financial resources, past performance record, and compliance with Federal and local public policies, including FTA Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements and 49 U.S.C. Section 5325. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Supply Chain Coordinator David Drummonds.
