Daktronics DMS Controllers

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 2 has issued a Notice of Single Source Procurement (PUR7776) for Daktronics DMS (Dynamic Message Sign) Controllers to be utilized within Clay County, Florida. This procurement seeks information from prospective vendors regarding their capability to supply the services and products specified in the supporting documentation. The identified known vendor for this single source procurement is Daktronics, Inc. Prospective vendors must submit vendor information by 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, February 13, 2026, via email or mailing address as specified in the official posting. Following the submission deadline, FDOT will evaluate all information received from interested prospective vendors to determine whether the requested commodities or contractual services are available exclusively from a single source. If FDOT determines in writing that the commodities or contractual services can only be obtained from a single source, the Department will post formal notice of its intended decision to enter into a single source purchase contract on the Vendor Bid System in accordance with Section 120.57(3) of the Florida Statutes.

This single source procurement process is designed to allow FDOT to proceed with the specified vendor when competitive procurement is not feasible due to the unique, specialized, or sole-source nature of the products or services required for dynamic message sign controller systems. The procurement documentation does not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. Daktronics, Inc. is identified as the known vendor and presumed incumbent for this specialized equipment category. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the available procurement documentation. The single source determination process allows FDOT to justify the use of a sole provider when standardization, compatibility with existing infrastructure, or technical specifications necessitate procurement from a single vendor rather than through open competitive bidding.
