Intent to Single Source Wavetronix Parts and Services

The City of Tampa's Mobility Department is pursuing a single-source procurement for Wavetronix parts, products, supplies, and services specific to vehicle detection systems within the city's traffic signal infrastructure. The solicitation (26-X-00375) seeks an authorized Wavetronix manufacturer's distributor or dealer capable of providing specialized equipment, warranty service, maintenance, and repair capabilities. Wavetronix is identified as the exclusive provider of these parts and services in Florida, justifying the single-source procurement approach. Key requirements include comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability insurance with $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate limits, Automobile Liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, Worker's Compensation coverage, and potential Excess Umbrella Liability insurance for agreements over $2 million. All insurance must be placed with Florida-admitted insurers rated A-:VII or higher by A.M. Best, with the City of Tampa named as an additional insured. The procurement documents were posted on December 5, 2025, with the intent to continue the existing relationship for critical traffic management infrastructure components.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned, prospective vendors must submit documentation confirming their authorization as a Wavetronix vendor. The opportunity is specific to Hillsborough County, Florida, and appears to be continuation of an existing technological infrastructure. Wavetronix is positioned as the incumbent vendor, with their detection technology being integral to Tampa's current traffic signal system. No specific contract value, funding sources, or precise award timeline are detailed in the procurement documents. The single-source approach is predicated on Wavetronix's specialized technology and critical role in maintaining compatibility and continuity with the existing traffic management system. The procurement aims to avoid potential service disruptions while maintaining the technical expertise and product support necessary for effective traffic signal system management. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities and meet stringent insurance requirements to be considered for this specialized procurement opportunity.
