The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is pursuing a single-source procurement for Blyncsy AI Machine Visualization services, specifically targeting roadway data analysis and inspection across Florida's 24,214 miles of roadways. The procurement involves acquiring a proprietary AI visualization system that utilizes 1.6 million daily dash cam images to perform computer vision-based roadway sign text extraction and inspection. The contract, issued through the Office of Environmental Management and Office of Maintenance, seeks to integrate a GIS-compatible solution into existing maintenance management systems. The procurement is being conducted under section 287.057(3)(c) of Florida Statutes, with a specific commodity class of 81102201 - Traffic Engineering. The solicitation was posted on February 18, 2025, with vendor information required by 4:00 p.m. EST on March 11, 2025, and will be publicly posted for at least 15 business days to allow potential vendors an opportunity to provide alternative solutions. The procurement appears to be specifically targeting Bentley Systems, Incorporated as the intended vendor, with an estimated contract value of $500,000.00 and a proposed contract term of two years. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The solution requires integration with existing FDOT maintenance management systems and leverages a unique nationwide dash cam network for roadway imagery collection. The single-source justification emphasizes the proprietary nature of Blyncsy's AI technology and its specialized capabilities in roadway sign text extraction. While the procurement process allows for potential alternative vendors to submit information, the detailed specifications and specific technological requirements suggest a highly specialized solution that may limit competitive responses. The procurement is specific to Leon County and will be managed through the Florida Department of Transportation's Vendor Information Portal.
