Intent to Single Source Proxim Stratum X3 Quickbridge Panel Antennas

The City of Tampa's Mobility Department is pursuing a single-source procurement for five Proxim Stratum X3 Quickbridge Panel Antennas from Intelligent Transportation Services Inc. (ITS Inc.) to enhance its traffic control infrastructure. The procurement is specifically for 5 GHz all-purpose wireless bridge units with 1 Gbps capacity and 10-degree dual-polarized antennas, including Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. These specialized antennas are designed to interface and communicate with existing traffic control assets, and are not currently listed on the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Approved Products List. Potential vendors must be authorized manufacturer's distributors or dealers capable of providing quotations, warranty service, maintenance, and repairs. The Intent to Single Source (ISS) was posted on November 7, 2025, with vendor responses due by November 14, 2025. Vendors must confirm their ability to provide the requested goods and upload documentation proving their authorization to sell the product. The key objective is to expand and improve communication systems within traffic controller cabinets.

This procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Proxim Wireless Corporation has confirmed Intelligent Transportation Services Inc. as the exclusive supplier to the City of Tampa through December 31, 2026. The total purchase value is $13,875.00, with five SX3-1021A-US Stratum X3 Quickbridge units priced at $2,775.00 each. The estimated annual expenditure is $20,000.00, with funding sourced from account number 30600.243000.563001.0000.1000250. The current infrastructure requires integration with existing traffic control systems in Hillsborough County, Florida. The single-source nature of the procurement indicates a specialized technological need that cannot be met by multiple vendors. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned beyond ITS Inc. being the current proposed supplier for these specific wireless bridge units.
