How to bid on Multi-purpose Passenger Vehicle & Van Quotations for Washington State

What Washington State is buying

The Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is seeking price quotes from vehicle dealers for multipurpose passenger vehicles and vans. This is an opportunity for dealers to have their pricing published for Washington school districts to use when making direct purchases.

This solicitation will not create direct contracts between OSPI and the dealers. Instead, it will result in a list of accepted price quotes that school districts can use to order vehicles directly from the listed dealers. This means school districts will place orders with dealers whose quotes are accepted and published.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The deadline for submitting your price quotes is August 05, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET. All responses must be submitted by this time. After the deadline, OSPI will review the submitted quotes and publish a list of accepted pricing for school districts to access.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for established vehicle dealers that sell multipurpose passenger vehicles and vans. If your firm is a dealer interested in supplying vehicles to Washington State school districts, this request for quotes is relevant to your business. The category for this opportunity is equipment.

How to respond

To access the solicitation, you need to go to Washington State's WEBS Bid Calendar. You can find this bid by searching for RFQ No. 2026-25 on the calendar. While you can view the solicitation publicly, you will need a free WEBS vendor sign-in to download the full documents and submit your response. Make sure to register and submit your response before the closing date.

Practical tips for preparing your response

When preparing your price quotes, ensure they are clear, complete, and competitive. Since school districts will be using this published list to make direct orders, your pricing and terms should be attractive. Double-check all details in your submission for accuracy.

Pay close attention to any specific vehicle requirements or specifications mentioned in the solicitation documents. Providing all requested information precisely will help ensure your quote is accepted and published for school districts to consider.
