RFQ 5442 Inventory parts

Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ 5442) for a catalog of inventory parts needed to maintain its transit fleet. Bidders must submit a fully completed electronic Bid Pricing Form via the agency’s e‑procurement portal, including freight, lead‑time (in days) and any core fees in the NOTES column. The RFQ lists 38 distinct part numbers (valves, brackets, clamps, switches, etc.) with required quantities ranging from 1 to 30 units. SORTA will award the contract to the responsible bidder offering the lowest responsive price, evaluating responsibility criteria such as financial stability, past performance, and compliance with federal, state and local regulations. • Release date: September 11 2026; submission deadline: September 14 2026 11:00 AM (electronic only). • All pricing must be all‑inclusive (shipping, taxes, core fees). • Lead‑time must be stated in days; “stock” items still require a lead‑time entry. • Non‑responses or bids submitted outside the portal will be deemed non‑responsive. • Evaluation emphasizes price, bidder integrity, debarment status, DBE/MBE compliance, financial resources, and ability to meet delivery schedules. • Primary contact: David Drummonds, Supply Chain Coordinator ([email protected], (513) 632‑7548).
