Doing Business

Doing business with MeVa is easy. As your local transit authority, we purchase goods and services in order to keep the buses rolling. We have throughout the year business opportunities for vendors. From purchasing automotive parts and office supplies to major construction projects, the information to bid on our solicitations is available at the link below for review and download.

Other ways we communicate available solicitations are through email requests and our social media accounts. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We also advertise some solicitations in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune or Spanish language papers such as RUMBO.

MeVa suggests registering your business with SAM.gov. As this is now a requirement of the Massachusetts version of the W-9 form.
