Program Overview

As the direct recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds, the DMT's Procurement Management is responsible for ensuring that all purchases using FTA grant funds must comply with federal statutes and regulations including, but not limited, to the following: 49 CFR Part 18 – Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments; 49 CFR Part 19 – Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations; FTA Master Agreement; and FTA Circular 4420.1F – Third Party Contracting Guidance.

In addition to compliance oversight the procurement program provides public agencies and private non-profit organizations with the opportunity to purchase transit vehicles at the lowest possible price. Purchases through DMT are in full compliance with federal and State procurement requirements. State Vehicle Contracts are available for the purchase of ADA compliant low floor minivans, cutaway vehicles, and medium duty transit buses. Procurement staff contacts are available at the bottom of the webpage.
