DBT Transportation Services AWOS Sole Source Letter 2026.pdf

This is a sole source justification letter from DBT Transportation Services LLC addressing the Missouri Department of Transportation's need for Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) replacement and repair parts. DBT Transportation Services LLC is identified as the sole-exclusive distributor of Vaisala replacement and repair parts for the twelve AWOS units distributed across Missouri. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with four one-year renewal options available, providing a potential five-year contract term if all renewals are exercised.

The letter confirms that DBT Transportation Services LLC acquired the AWOS line of business from the prior sole source provider Vaisala Inc. in August 2016, establishing the company's exclusive authority to provide these specialized parts and services. No pricing information, set-asides, or specific funding amounts are disclosed in this letter. The communication serves as documentation supporting Missouri's determination that only one source can adequately provide the required replacement and repair parts for the state's AWOS infrastructure, with contact information provided for additional inquiries regarding the offering.
