The 2027 transit projects table shows Western Iowa Transit has multiple 5339-funded capital projects for conversion vans and light-duty buses, each marked as "Submitted" with specific unit numbers such as JJ04, 1401, 1104, 1508, 1509, 1103, 1604, 1504, 1402, 1704, 1601, 1506, 1605, and 1505. Each vehicle has a total cost in the 102425–167557 range, with roughly 81940–134045 in FTA funding and the balance from local sources. While the vehicles are identified at the unit level, no manufacturer or dealer is named, but the fact they are tied to specific unit numbers suggests Western Iowa Transit is actively replacing or upgrading its fleet under existing capital plans.For vendors, this provides insight into fleet size, replacement patterns, and the scale of 5339 funding in the region, which can support follow-on opportunities for future vehicle batches, maintenance contracts, onboard technology (AVL, cameras, fare systems), and fleet management services as these vehicles are deployed.

Approximate total value estimated by summing listed 5339 vehicle totals; specific vendors not listed, suggesting purchases may occur through a state contract or multiple awards.
