Physical and Chemical Testing Services of Bus Oil and Coolant

The New York-based government authority is seeking a vendor to provide physical and chemical testing services for bus oil and coolant. The agency needs to monitor the condition of its fleet through the regular collection and analysis of bus coolant, engine oil, transmission fluid, and hybrid traction motor oil. This testing will help the agency identify potential mechanical issues, optimize maintenance schedules, and ensure the reliable operation of its transit vehicles. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to pick up fluid samples directly from the agency and perform comprehensive physical and chemical analyses. The vendor must deliver written reports of the test results to the Project Manager in accordance with the Technical Services Specification and standard industry practices. The agency expects the vendor to provide all necessary labor, materials, and incidental work required to complete the testing offsite. The agency is limiting eligibility for this contract to organizations located within the United States. The resulting contract will span a five-year period to ensure long-term testing continuity. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The agency has scheduled a pre-bid meeting for May 22, 2026, to address questions regarding the requirements. The agency is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget limit for these services. Evaluation of proposals will depend on the vendor's ability to meet the technical specifications and deliver timely, accurate reporting over the five-year term.
