How to bid on a Rectifier PRP Panel for SEPTA

What SEPTA is buying and why it matters

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) is requesting quotes for a specific Rectifier PRP Panel, Powerex model R7S02415XX. This is a direct purchase for a particular part, and no substitute products will be accepted. Vendors must be able to provide documentation proving the panel's origin from Powerex with every shipment.

This opportunity is straightforward: if you can supply this exact part and meet the traceability requirement, it's a chance to do business with SEPTA.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The deadline for submitting quotes is September 18, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. All quotes must be submitted through SEPTA’s eProcurement System (ePS) by this exact time. Late submissions will not be considered.

Who this opportunity suits

This request for quote (RFQ) is ideal for businesses that supply electrical components, specifically those with direct access to Powerex products. Given the 'no substitutes' clause and the traceability requirement, firms with established supply chains for Powerex parts are best suited. The relevant category for this item is healthcare, though the item itself is an electrical component.
