Question	Date Asked	Answer	Date Answered
Dear Taylor, I hope this email finds you well. We are currently reviewing the Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the School District of Manatee County for School Bus Parts, Bid Number 27-0061-TLG. Given the scope and requirements outlined in the solicitation, we would like to inquire whether the district would consider a proposal based on the NAPA Integrated Business Solutions (IBS) model. For background, the NAPA-IBS program operates as a strategic partnership where we provide a vendor-managed, on-site inventory solution within your maintenance facility. Under this model, NAPA owns and manages the parts inventory tailored specifically to your fleet needs, and the district only pays for parts at the time they are utilized. This structure is heavily utilized by government and school district fleets to significantly eliminate vehicle downtime, reduce administrative and transactional overhead, and remove parts shrinkage or inventory liability costs. Could you please let us know if the district is open to evaluating a comprehensive on-site procurement and supply chain solution like NAPA-IBS under this current solicitation, or if it would be preferable to submit this as an alternative vendor provision? We look forward to your response. Sincerely, Alice Moran Here is a link to our website: https://www.napa-ibs.com	8/26/2026 2:24:55 PM
