Contract: Repetitive Inventory Parts (Neopart Transit)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Contract 25-04024 and associated disbursements with Neopart Transit, with an estimated value of $386,500 over five (5) years.
BACKGROUND:
The Supply Chain department solicited competitive bids from multiple suppliers for our high-usage, repetitive purchased parts. Each quote was evaluated and the lowest-bid vendor selected who meets the current quality specifications or approved equal.
This vendor is to supply UTA through an Automatic Purchase Order process. As UTA maintenance consumes parts and inventory levels drop to the item’s reorder point a Purchase Order is automatically generated and sent to the vendor. This process saves time for both the vendor and UTA by eliminating repetitively quoting the same part. This long-term agreement also helps to stabilize inventory levels, enhance parts availability, reduce lead times, and ensure consistent quality across the parts procured.
DISCUSSION:
The Supply Chain department desires to enter into a requirements contract with Neopart Transit.
UTA does not guarantee the purchase of any items and is not financially obligated to the vendor until a Purchase Order has been issued and received. The term of the contract will be for two (2) years, plus three (3) 1-year options for extension.
Pricing for each part is fixed for the first two years, with subsequent option years’ pricing being pre-established in Exhibit A.
