Description

The Education Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (ECPA), led by the Central Indiana Educational Service Center, is soliciting proposals for a statewide, multi-district cooperative purchasing contract covering school bus, automotive, medium- and heavy-duty truck parts, fleet supplies, fluids, remanufactured components, OEM/OE-equivalent and aftermarket parts, and related services. Participating Indiana school districts will issue their own purchase orders directly to awarded vendors; no minimum purchase volume, sales amount, market share, or exclusivity is guaranteed. Vendors may propose one, several, or all categories. The scope includes preventative maintenance, filters, brakes and air systems, electrical and lighting, steering and suspension, engines and drivetrain, cooling and HVAC, bus body components, accessibility equipment, automotive and truck parts, shop supplies, and related support. Proposals must address product breadth and quality, distribution and delivery, customer support and warranties, vendor experience, implementation capabilities, reporting, and pricing. The response package requires a technical proposal, completed Excel pricing workbook with category discounts and the vendor’s top 75 comparable public-sector items, and completed procurement forms. The initial contract term is three years, with up to two additional one-year renewals.
