Acusensus Data Collection Services for Seat Belt Use, Cell Phone Use and Speed

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for Acusensus Data Collection Services targeting seat belt use, cell phone use, and speed monitoring. The solicitation seeks Acusensus, Inc.'s proprietary Heads-Up Real Time solution, which provides advanced imaging, artificial intelligence, and real-time enforcement capabilities. MoDOT has determined that Acusensus is the only known supplier capable of delivering a real-time data feed using artificial intelligence for monitoring these specific traffic safety metrics. The procurement is specifically applicable to Clark County and follows a solicitation period from February 1, 2023, to February 7, 2023, with responses due by 10:00 AM CST on February 7. The contract period will run from the date of award through December 31, 2023, with the evaluation criteria focused on the lowest and best responsive bid that complies with mandatory specifications and requirements. Vendors must submit responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System.

While no specific contract value is disclosed, the solicitation encourages minority and women-owned business participation, with a goal of 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. No incumbent vendor is identified, and there are no explicit set-aside designations beyond the encouragement of MBE and WBE participation. The procurement is structured as a single feasible source under Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020(5)(A) and 7CSR10-11.020(5)(B)1.F, which allows for non-competitive procurement when only one viable source exists for the required services. Payment terms are Net 30 days with Free On Board Destination delivery terms. The solicitation notes that for purchases over $5,000, public posting is required, and for purchases over $25,000, MoDOT must advertise its intent to make the purchase at least five days before contract award. Vendors may contest the single source determination by providing information about their ability to supply the required services.
