Procurement

IndyGo’s Procurement Department is responsible for the procurement of all company goods, services, real property, and construction in accordance with sound public contracting policies and procedures. The department has oversight responsibility for all formal contract procurements that have been issued, are currently in force, or will expire soon. Most contractual agreements are fixed-price in nature and are purchased via the “Invitation for Bids” or “Request for Proposal” methods of procurement.

As a recipient of federal funds, IndyGo’s purchasing processes must abide by the rules and regulations of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and adhere to the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) third-party contracting guidelines. It must also follow applicable Indiana Codes as well as the ordinances and regulations established by the City-County Council of Indianapolis and Marion County.

Ethics Statement

IndyGo holds itself to the highest ethical standards and diligently scrutinizes its business practices to identify and avert any potential conflicts of interest for any personnel engaged directly or indirectly in the award and administration of the corporation’s contracts. As such, IndyGo has developed an Agency-Wide Conflict of Interest and Ethical Conduct Policy that closely guides non-procurement officers, managers, employees, or agents of IndyGo and rigidly defines what they can accept regarding gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors, potential contractors, or parties to sub agreements. No IndyGo purchasing-staff individual or group is allowed to receive anything of value, no matter how minuscule. Violations to IndyGo’s standard of conduct will be subject to penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary action to the extent permitted by state, local law or regulations.

Supplier Diversity and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program

IndyGo and its board of directors are dedicated to providing competitive and transparent contract opportunities to a broad, diverse network of suppliers in the Indianapolis area. Federal transportation funding requires IndyGo to set a goal for contracting with disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE). In accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, IndyGo has established its own DBE program, but that program reflects only a portion of IndyGo’s overriding interest in contracting with firms that possess certifications from varied business-diversity programs.

Please refer to IndyGo’s official Supplier Diversity Statement.

If you have specific questions about IndyGo’s DBE program or its broader supplier-diversity effort, please contact Supplier Diversity at supplierdiversity@indygo.net.
