Event Data Recorders and Accessories

The Orlando Police Department is pursuing a sole source procurement (Solicitation Number S24-0574) for specialized Event Data Recorder (EDR) tools and accessories from Crash Data Group Inc. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive suite of forensic automotive investigation equipment, including the Bosch Crash Data Retrieval Tool (CDR), Tesla EDR Hardware Kit, Hyundai EDR Tool Kit, and Kia EDR Tool Kit. These tools are specifically designed to provide direct access to vehicle crash data modules, enabling more comprehensive crash reconstructions for police investigations. The procurement includes various hardware components such as cables, adapters, power supplies, and software with a one-year subscription. The solicitation is structured as a non-competitive procurement due to the unique technical specifications and exclusive distribution rights of the equipment. The formal procurement timeline requires potential alternative suppliers to submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities via email to Tracie Brown (tracie.brown@orlando.gov) by Thursday, August 22, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (ET), with the notice remaining active for seven calendar days.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Crash Data Group Inc. has been identified as the exclusive distributor for these specialized tools, with manufacturer letters from Bosch Automotive Service Solutions confirming their sole distribution rights in the United States, Jamaica, and Canada. The total quote value for the procurement is $50,495.00, which includes the Bosch CDR900 DLC Tool Kit, CDR Premium D2M Cable Bundle, Hyundai/Kia EDR DLC Kit, GIT Hyundai and Kia ACU Direct-to-Module cables, and Tesla EDR Retrieval Hardware Kit. The procurement is specifically targeted at government agencies, with requirements that purchase orders must be at least $500 and include NET30 payment terms. The tools are critical for the Orlando Police Department's forensic capabilities, providing the only known method to access event data recorder information for specific vehicle manufacturers, particularly Hyundai, Kia, and Tesla.
