THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
San Lorenzo USD outlines a 2026-2027 process where field and sports trips needing buses use district drivers first, then approved charter bus vendors when internal capacity is not available. Quotes are requested from approved SPAB/charter vendors via TransTraks, with the best quote and contract sent to the requester and formal PO/contract approval through Business Services. This is an ongoing need for reliable student transportation, so charter operators with school expertise can seek to be added to the approved vendor list or win trip-by-trip work when district buses are unavailable.
SPAB/charter vendors cannot subcontract without written district permission and school sites may not contract directly.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
