This Addendum No. 1 pertains to a solicitation issued by the Minnesota Department of Transportation for MNDOT District 7 Field Communication Headsets. The addendum revises two critical dates in the procurement process: the proposal submission deadline has been extended from September 3, 2026 at 3:00 PM CST to September 8, 2026 at 3:00 PM CST, and the deadline for submitting questions has been revised to August 31, 2026 at 3:00 PM CST, extended from the original August 8, 2026 date. This is a formal, all-or-none award solicitation for a one-time purchase of Sonetics headsets and related equipment designed to support field staff communication in high-noise environments and during machinery operation. Respondents must submit bids electronically through the Supplier Portal by the revised deadline, with no alternative submission methods accepted.

The procurement will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications and terms and conditions outlined in the Request for Bid and Sample Contract. The Minnesota Department of Transportation reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping, or by total as deemed most advantageous to the State. Contractor assistance for portal registration and submission is available through the SWIFT Contractor Assistance Helpdesk at 651.201.8100, Option 1. Suppliers bidding on this event must be registered as suppliers to be eligible for award, and confirmation of bid submission through the Supplier Portal constitutes proof of timely response.
