 Description:

The School District of Philadelphia's (District) Department of Transportation Services (Transportation) is seeking the continuation of the contract with Genuine Parts Company (GPC) for the provision of parts and supplies to the District’s garages. GPC provides a wide range of parts and supplies, including tires, oil filters, brakes, engine oil, and windshield wipers. These parts are used to maintain and complete repairs to the District’s yellow bus and non-bus fleet. Transportation is pleased with the level of service provided by GPC. GPC has consistently met all of Transportation’s requirements and has provided excellent customer service. GPC will continue to be evaluated via ongoing feedback from garage personnel and through quarterly management meetings. 


This contract directly supports the Board of Education's Guardrail 1. The success of the contract is measured by the ability of GPC to make a vast array of parts available to District garages on demand or within a short amount of time. This reduces the amount of inventory the District is required to keep on hand.
