Notice of Intent to Purchase 12 OEM Replacement Railcar Exterior Crew Switch Assemblies (Part # SP335571-1) Supplied by Fuji Semec Corp

Project Description: The Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District (SMART) is a Government Transportation Special District within the State of California that owns, maintains, and operates passenger rail service and freight rail service in Sonoma County and Marin County.
SMART is issuing this Notice of Intent to award a non-competitive, negotiated purchase order to Fuji Semec Corp for the purchase of twelve (12) OEM Replacement Railcar Exterior Crew Switch Assemblies (Part # SP335571-1) that were originally manufactured by Fuji Electric Japan for use in SMART's Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs). This Notice is being issued because it is SMART’s understanding that the only available source to supply these Original Equipment Manufacturer replacement parts is from Fuji Semec Corp.
The estimated value of this Purchase is $80,000.00.
If upon review of this Notice, vendors determine that they can legally supply these replacement parts to SMART, SMART requests that those vendors submit a response to this Notice of Intent.
Any responses received shall be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement rather than proceeding with this sole-source negotiated contract. This notice is not a request for competitive bids or proposals. Responses received will not be considered as bids, quotes, or proposals.
The deadline to submit a response to this Notice of Intent is March 20, 2026 by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific).
