The Vermilion Parish School Board is accepting bids for 2027-model-year or newer full 71/72-passenger, diesel-powered, air-conditioned school buses. The Board’s Bid 2026.792 public notice sets a 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4 deadline and opening.

Bidders may submit through Central Bidding or deliver a sealed bid to the Charles Campbell Curriculum Annex Center board room, 216 S. Jefferson St. in Abbeville. The notice gives the School Board purchasing office as another route for specifications and bid forms.

The public notice says specifications are also available through Central Bidding and the School System’s bid page. It gives vendors a live local procurement deadline, the bus specifications and the address for the public opening.
