Bus/Van Purchasing
Annually, school districts purchase over 100 buses through the OSC Bus/Van Purchasing Program. Semi-annually, in the spring and fall, the OSC develops specifications, advertises, bids and analyzes bus and vehicle bids for school districts. Districts select and award bids based upon their specific needs.
The OSC Bus/Van Purchasing Program provides its members with savings of up to $1,500 per unit purchased, not to mention the savings in administrative time and the cost of legal notices. OSC committee members develop the specifications, and the OSC places the legal advertisement, opens the bids and provides each district with an individualized school bus/school vehicle bid summary, ready for board action.
