Open: the posting shows status Open with a respond-by date of 2:00 p.m. PDT in September 2026, read September 2026. Two closing dates are published on the same channel and both are carried — the profile listing that indexes the posting still shows a closing date of September 2026, while the posting page itself shows September 2026 and status Open; the posting page is the later and governing statement. TransLink publishes no value for the solicitation and says so on the posting: “Please note TransLink does not disclose its budgetary information”

- ● SAP Business Network — TransLink public posting · Posting 1110020300, “Refurbishment of WCE Bi-Level Passenger Cars”, sourcing document Doc5802782588, buyer TransLink, lead type RFI, sector Public. Status: Open. Respond By: 29 Sep 2026 14:00 PDT. Product and service category “Railcar General Services”; ship-to Canada, British Columbia. Project summary, verbatim: “TransLink / West Coast Express (‘WCE’) is seeking proposals for the refurbishment, upgrade, supply, and delivery of work packages to renew and modernize thirty-seven (37) bi-level passenger railcars, consisting of ten (10) cab cars and twenty-seven (27) coach cars, as outlined in the Technical Specifications and further described in the procurement documents and Scope of Work. The refurbishment requirements contained in the Technical Specifications apply to all thirty-seven (37) vehicles, including the two pilot vehicles (one cab car and one coach car), which will be refurbished first to validate the design, processes, and deliverables before fleet-wide implementation.” The posting then states, verbatim: “Please note TransLink does not disclose its budgetary information.” One attachment, “Doc5802782588_Scope of Work_Refurbishment of WCE Bi-Level Passenger Cars.pdf” (208.63 KB). The “Opportunity Amount” field shows “10,000 - 10,000,000 CAD”, which is the platform’s own default bucket and not a TransLink figure. Enquiries are directed to the event message board; the signature is a desk, “TransLink Strategic Sourcing Department”. (published 2026-07-29 · checked 2026-09-13)
- ● SAP Business Network Discovery — TransLink public profile · TransLink’s posted opportunities, all 17 listing pages read 13 September 2026 (169 postings, 12 still open). Every listing row carries only an Ariba-generated default band — “$0 USD (Est.)”, “Less than $1000 USD (Est.)”, “$1000 to $10K USD (Est.)” or “$50K to $100K USD (Est.)” — and no TransLink figure. Open rail-relevant postings: “Refurbishment of WCE Bi-Level Passenger Cars” (posted 29 July 2026; the listing row shows a closing date of 10 September 2026, which the posting itself supersedes — see the posting page, which shows status Open and a respond-by date of 29 September 2026), “RFP - Systemwide Rail Flaw Inspection 2027-2029” (posted 27 August 2026, closes 8 October 2026) and “[ITP] Systems Engineering – Engineering Services Pre-Qualification” (posted 18 August 2026, closes 29 September 2026). Correction of 13 September 2026: the posting detail pages are NOT behind a sign-in. Each listing title links to a public SAP Business Network preview page at portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/RfxEvent/preview/<posting id>, which renders without an account in a browser session and carries the buyer’s own project summary, status, respond-by date and attachments. The three postings above are 1110020300 (Doc5802782588), 1110023066 (Doc5838732051) and 1110022025 (Doc5816792405). The listing pages themselves are server-rendered and readable to a plain fetch; sorting and pagination are AribaWeb postbacks that redirect an unauthenticated fetch to a sign-in page, so the full list is read in a browser session.
