The State of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Fort Worth District is issuing Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 601310000099387 for the procurement of radar presence detector (RPD) systems and related equipment for traffic signal applications. The solicitation was posted on March 25, 2026, with a response due date of April 1, 2026. TxDOT seeks to establish a contract for Wavetronix SmartSensor Matrix, SmartSensor Advance Extended Range detectors, mounting assemblies, cables, junction boxes, and cabinet interface devices. The specifications establish equivalency standards to Wavetronix products, permitting alternative manufacturers to submit comparable equipment that meets the technical requirements. Key deliverables include the SmartSensor Matrix 16-beam stop bar sensor with 140-foot detection range, the SmartSensor Advance Extended Range detector with 900-foot detection capability for high-profile vehicles, mounting assemblies rated for 20-pound loads, 6-conductor power and communication cables compliant with MIL-C-26482 specifications, NEMA 4X-rated junction boxes, and the Click 656 cabinet interface device supporting up to six sensors with SDLC controller connectivity and Ethernet capabilities. All equipment must be manufactured and assembled in the United States with surface-mount assembly processes compliant with IPC-A-610C Class 2 standards, undergo 48-hour unit-level burn-in testing, achieve FCC certification under CFR 47 Part 15, comply with NEMA TS 2-2003 standards, and withstand IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 lightning surge protection validation. Equipment must operate reliably in extreme ambient conditions ranging from -40°F to 165°F with humidity up to 95% non-condensing, and maintain performance through adverse weather conditions. Manufacturers must provide comprehensive training, technical support, and two-year warranties against material and workmanship defects. Bidders must submit responses through the Euna Procurement website (formerly Bonfire) and must be registered on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) to participate in this procurement.

All respondents are required to complete and submit the Execution of Bid form, which includes multiple certifications regarding anti-corruption compliance, anti-trust law adherence, debarment status verification, and federal terrorism screening through the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Respondents must also complete the Texas Family Code Schedule to certify compliance with child support obligation requirements, with failure to sign and return this schedule resulting in the response being deemed non-responsive. The procurement includes preference categories for tie-breaking purposes, including Texas-produced goods, agricultural products, service-disabled veteran businesses, recycled materials, energy-efficient products, and environmentally sensitive goods. Bidders must verify Texas residency where applicable, disclose any former state agency executives involved in the bid, and authorize state auditor access to contract-related funds and records. The primary contact for this procurement is Benjamin McIntyre, CTCD, reachable at benjamin.mcintyre@txdot.gov or 903-737-9359.
