Derq_USA_Inc__Justification.pdf

This is a justification document for a sole source procurement by a Florida state or local government agency for vehicle and pedestrian detection systems at existing signalized intersections. The justification outlines the rationale for bypassing competitive bidding procedures to award a contract to Derq USA, Inc. for the provision of traffic detection technology. The document establishes the specific capabilities and unique features of Derq's product that are deemed necessary for the agency's traffic management objectives at signalized intersections.

The justification demonstrates that Derq USA, Inc. possesses proprietary technology and specialized expertise that cannot be readily replicated by competing vendors, thereby supporting the sole source determination. The document addresses why competitive procurement methods would be impractical or inefficient, emphasizing the technical specifications, performance requirements, and integration capabilities required for the agency's existing traffic signal infrastructure. This sole source procurement approach allows the agency to proceed directly with Derq USA, Inc. without issuing a public bid process, contingent upon approval of the justification by appropriate procurement authorities.
