The South Carolina Department of Corrections is pursuing a sole source procurement for Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) equipment, software, and services from NDI Technologies. The contract encompasses a comprehensive ALPR solution that includes equipment, installation, hardware, software, communication services, updates, upgrades, repair, warranties, replacement parts, support, and subscription renewals. Specifically, the procurement requires integration with the South Carolina Department of Law Enforcement's (SLED) proprietary Vehicle Intelligence Server and Communications Engine (VISCE) ALPR back-office solution, which only NDI Technologies can provide. The solicitation is structured as a one-year initial term with potential for four additional one-year renewals, totaling a possible five-year contract period. Key submission requirements include sending responses by November 8, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. to the SC Department of Corrections Purchasing Branch, either via physical mail to 4530 Broad River Road, Columbia, SC 29210, or electronically to purchasing@doc.sc.gov with "SOLE SOURCE" in the subject line. No pre-bid conference or site visit is scheduled, and the award becomes effective after the opening date if no alternative responses are received. The sole source justification is predicated on the proprietary nature of NDI's VISCE database and its unique ability to integrate with SLED's existing ALPR infrastructure. Vendors challenging the sole source designation must demonstrate full authorization to provide all products and services compatible with NDI Recognition Systems and integration capabilities. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, interested parties have procedural rights to challenge the procurement, including submitting alternative proposals by the November 8, 2022 deadline. Aggrieved parties can file formal protests within fifteen days of the notice posting, with an initial five-business-day window for initial concerns. The notice will be posted in the South Carolina Business Opportunities (SCBO) for at least ten business days as mandated by state procurement regulations. Although specific contract value ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the ALPR solution suggests a significant technology investment covering equipment, software, services, and long-term support across a potential five-year contract period.
