Notice of Intent to Purchase a Product or Service

September 25, 2026

Due Diligence Posting of Notice of Intent to Accept a Best Value Offer from Synercon Technologies for a FLA Adapter, Smart Sensor Simulator 2 System (Engine

Kit), and TruckCRYPT software for MA State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement

Investigators

The Massachusetts Department of State Police (“Department”) or (“MSP”) of the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts hereby announces its intent to contract with Synercon Technologies (or “Offeror”), for an

FLA Adapter, Smart Sensor Simulator 2 System (Engine Kit), and TruckCRYPT, pending the results of this Notice of Intent (“Notice”) issued pursuant to the Commonwealth’s Due Diligence Posting policy.

Product Description

MSP seeks to purchase engine download equipment from Synercon Technologies. The equipment is:

1) FLA adapter

2) Synercon Smart Sensor Simulator 2 System (Engine Kit)

3) TruckCRYPT software

The items MSP seeks to purchase from Synercon Technologies are unique products that cannot be purchased from another company due to their patent and software. The hardware attaches to either a commercial vehicle motor or the dashboard of the truck and captures the data from the vehicle in a secure way that can be forensically analyzed and processed as evidence. These products are necessary for the furthering of investigations of Commercial Vehicle Truck Crashes.

Estimated Contract Value:

Based on the attached renewal quote MSP received from Dearbon/Synercon, the approximate value of the contract for FY27 would be $50,658. FY28 would be quote based.

Estimated Contract Duration:

If no other vendors respond believing themselves to be qualified to provide the services required under the

14-day Notice of Intent Posting, the Department will seek to enter into a contract agreement with

Dearbon/Synercon that is no longer than two (2) years. Following a 2-year agreement, should the

Department need to make an additional purchase, the Department will go out to bid and issue a Request For

Response (“RFR”).
