Campbell Audible Pedestrian Stations and Control Units

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), St. Louis District, is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for Campbell Audible Pedestrian Stations and Control Units. This solicitation (SFS605SL20002011) is specifically targeting the acquisition of proprietary pedestrian station equipment manufactured by Campbell Company, with Traffic Control Corporation identified as the sole authorized distributor. The department requires these units to repair and replace current models at multiple locations throughout the district, with a critical emphasis on ensuring full compatibility with existing systems. The solicitation period runs from March 13, 2020, to March 18, 2020, with a contract term spanning from March 18, 2020, to March 17, 2021. Vendors can submit responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system or via hard copy, with a submission deadline of March 18, 2020, at 11:00 AM CDT. The procurement terms include Free On Board (FOB) Destination delivery and Net 30 Days payment terms. MoDOT has justified the single feasible source determination under Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020, citing the proprietary nature of the products and their necessity for system compatibility.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, and there are no detailed provisions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears to be open to all vendors, though only Traffic Control Corporation can provide the specific Campbell products required. The existing infrastructure involves current pedestrian station systems that require precise, compatible additions. While no specific award value or budget range is provided in the documents, the solicitation indicates that for purchases over $5,000, MoDOT must post a notice of the proposed purchase, and for purchases exceeding $25,000, additional advertising requirements apply. The procurement is designed to maintain the integrity and compatibility of the existing pedestrian station infrastructure by securing the exact specifications needed for replacement and repair. The lack of competitive bidding is justified by the unique technical requirements and the product's proprietary nature.
