School Bus Quotations

The Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction is issuing Request for Quotations No. 2027-03 to solicit price quotes from qualified school bus dealers. This solicitation is not intended to create direct contracts between the agency and the dealers; instead, it will result in a published list of accepted price quotes that school districts across multiple counties in Washington may use to place orders directly with the selected dealers. The estimated commitment period for these quotations runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with a response deadline of August 3, 2026. The procurement process includes specific requirements for bidders, such as the submission of mandatory certifications regarding non-collusion, state wage law compliance, and the absence of debarment. The solicitation has been updated through two amendments to include missing files for Type A Gas and Propane buses and to add the D84 Propane category. Additionally, the process utilizes Form SPI 1394-A, a Dealer Delivery Report, to document optional items, cost exchanges, and additions or deletions from state quotes made by individual school districts during the 2026-27 period.
