The California Department of Transportation awarded a non-information technology goods contract to REQUEST MATERIALS & SUPPLY under contract number CPO-072600000651 on March 16, 2026. The contract value totals $8,011.75 and covers a single line item for the procurement of roadway and highway lighting equipment. The primary deliverable is one 800-watt solar kit valued at $7,300.00, which will be utilized to power a ramp meter installation at Arroyo Seco Parkway. This procurement was necessitated by the unavailability of electrical power from Southern California Edison or Pasadena Water and Power at the project location, making solar generation the viable alternative energy source.

The contract period of performance spans from the award date of March 16, 2026 through the completion date of March 16, 2026, indicating a same-day performance timeline. The solar kit installation will support traffic management operations at the Arroyo Seco Parkway ramp meter location. As a non-IT goods contract procured through the state's centralized procurement office, this award represents a capital equipment acquisition necessary to enable the Department of Transportation's ramp metering infrastructure in the Los Angeles area.
