Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). FHWA intends to purchase a six-month subscription to the Connected Vehicle Dataset from COMPASS IOT PTY LTD, an Australian company. The dataset includes vehicle information from manufacturers after 2019, with SIM card-transmitted data on vehicle location, kinematic details, speed, model, geographic location, and operational states. The total value of the procurement is redacted, and the justification is based on COMPASS IOT being the only provider of this specialized connected vehicle data with a user-friendly web interface designed for traffic and safety analysis. The dataset supports applications including safety evaluations, operational analysis, traffic incident detection, and route optimization, with data collected at 1-3 second intervals across the U.S. market.
