The procurement specifies that submitted devices must maintain certification status with NHTSA and provide documentation of regulatory compliance. Vendors must demonstrate that their instruments meet specific performance thresholds for precision, reliability, and data management capabilities. The specification emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance protocols, operator training materials, and technical support requirements to ensure consistent performance across all testing locations. Additional requirements address data storage, security features for test records, and integration capabilities with law enforcement information systems used throughout South Carolina.
