School Bus Quotations

The Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction is seeking price quotations from school bus dealers interested in supplying school buses to districts across Washington state. This Request for Quotations (RFQ No. 2024-24) was posted on July 18, 2024, with a deadline for responses set for August 6, 2024. The process does not establish direct contracts with the selected dealers; instead, it results in a published list of accepted price quotes. School districts can then use this list to place direct orders with the participating dealers, facilitating a streamlined procurement process. The solicitation covers a contract value ranging from five million to twenty million dollars and is categorized under NAICS code 485410, which pertains to school and employee bus transportation services. The initiative is managed by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, with Kyla Moore serving as the primary contact person. Interested vendors can find additional information and access the solicitation details through the provided online link. This approach aims to promote transparency and competitive pricing among school bus suppliers, ultimately supporting the transportation needs of Washington’s educational institutions.
