The procurement involves specialized hardware and software components designed to capture road weather information for statewide repairs, including web-based pavement and weather monitoring systems.

The procurement is specifically a sole source award, which means no other vendors are eligible to compete for this contract. SCDOT determined that Vaisala is the exclusive vendor capable of meeting agency requirements because the specialized hardware already installed was designed, developed, manufactured, and offered exclusively by Vaisala. Market research confirmed that all system components must be sourced directly from Vaisala due to the proprietary nature of their specialized hardware and software currently owned by SCDOT. The contract will cover the jurisdiction of Richland County in South Carolina. If the procurement value exceeds $50,000, Vaisala will be required to obtain a Drug-free Workplace certification prior to contract execution. The intended award date is September 23, 2022, unless the document is suspended or canceled prior to that date. No specific contract term, renewal options, or project timeline details were provided in the documentation.
