About this file

This is an internal confirmation email from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Information Systems Project Manager to the Procurement Contracts Administration and Materials Management department regarding RFQ 250440 for Synchro 12 software upgrades and maintenance services. The procurement seeks quotes from authorized Synchro 12 resellers for three upgrade packages and one three-year support and maintenance package to be delivered electronically with no tangible items. The contract term runs from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029, with written questions due July 9, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, an addendum response deadline of July 17, 2026, quote review scheduled for July 27, 2026, and anticipated purchase order award on August 10, 2026. Only authorized Synchro 12 resellers for US Government Accounts are eligible to bid; unauthorized quotes and alternative manufacturers or part numbers will result in automatic rejection and non-responsive status.

The total budget for the three-year contract term is $13,642.65 on a lump sum basis, with pricing to remain firm throughout the contract period. The procurement is funded through Local Measure M and includes four line items: one upgrade for $2,518.95, three upgrades at $2,098.95 each totaling $6,296.85, one upgrade for $1,836.45, and one three-year support and maintenance package for $2,990.40. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible firm with cost as the sole evaluation criterion at 100 percent weight. No retention, prevailing wage, liquidated damages, or disadvantaged business enterprise goals apply. All bidders must certify compliance with Ukraine and Russia-related economic sanctions imposed by California and the United States Government, and winning firms must provide proof of authorized reseller status prior to award.
