Interested in Purchasing a New Bus? Participate in the Spring OSC Bus Bid!
- Category: Co-op Purchasing
If your district is going to purchase a new bus between May and mid-October 2021, please consider participating in the OSC Bus bid. Bids will be opened on April 29, 2021, and distributed to members by May 7, 2021. Districts generally save at least $1,500 for each bus purchased through OSC bids, not including the savings in administrative time to bid on your own and the cost of legal notices. Last year, a member district in Wood County, saved over $10,000 on purchasing a 30 passenger bus using the OSC bids.
