Brand Name Justification / Sole Source Special Notice for DOT's Purchase of Bosch Equipment for Use in a CCTV System Modernization

The Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary has published a Brand Name Justification / Sole Source Special Notice regarding the procurement of Bosch equipment for a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system modernization at DOT Headquarters. This special notice, posted on July 29, 2025, represents a $1,230,098 procurement opportunity that has been set aside for total small business participation. The procurement falls under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems Services and PSC code 5810 for Communications Security Equipment and Components. The notice serves as both a brand name justification for requiring specific Bosch equipment and a market research effort to identify qualified small business vendors. DOT is seeking contractors capable of obtaining and installing specific Bosch hardware including IP cameras, video management system components, monitors, decoders, and related accessories.

The primary objective of this special notice is to conduct market research while justifying the sole source requirement for Bosch equipment as a direct replacement for DOT's existing system, as procuring alternative hardware would be cost-prohibitive. Interested small business entities must submit Statements of Qualifications by 11:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time on August 10, 2025, demonstrating their capability to provide the required equipment and installation services. Eligibility is restricted to small businesses with average annual gross revenue under $25 million who can supply and install the exact Bosch equipment specified in the detailed equipment table. The estimated delivery timeline is 360 days After Receipt of Order, and the new system must integrate seamlessly with DOT's existing Bosch hardware and third-party interfaces. DOT plans to follow this special notice with a competitive solicitation limited to qualified small businesses, with the Office of Security maintaining necessary spare parts for the modernized system.
